The most common knives are the kitchen knives that are used to chop various ingredients in cooking food. Despite being intended primarily for the kitchen, kitchen knives are used all over the house and even outside. But for certain cases, these knives are inadequate, often bulky and clumsy. This is even more apparent when taking knives out in the wild for camping or just any purpose.

Compass

Sunday, September 27th, 2009 by macinger84

A compass is a tool that has been in use for centuries. This very simplistic device points us in the right direction by detecting the magnetic field of the earth and orienting itself properly. From this, you can find out the proper direction that you should be heading. This device has proven itself time and again in the hands of travellers who navigates thousands of miles with just the aid of a compass and a map.

Invented in China before the 2nd century, the compass was created as a tool in finding the proper orientation of things in the immediate surroundings. This practice, called Feng Shui, is still alive and practiced widely in the world today, even in the western world. Its navigational use was not discovered until the 11th century and has been widely used since then. Today, there are many types of compasses available. Traditional models are made out of a magnetic needle that is encased in a fluid to allow the needle to move freely. Newer models that use a gyrocompass instead of the earth’s magnetic field can point to the earth’s true north instead of the magnetic north. They are also more accurate as they are not affected by other magnetic sources or electrical circuits. Despite these advantages, older models still exist because of their durability and maintenance-free nature.

Today, most compasses that are used for navigation are already embedded in vehicles while hand held devices are mostly for sporting events and hobbyists. Events like orienteering matches teams against each other in navigating a specific terrain with the use of a compass and a map.
