Let's See Some Hunting Knives

[BonUm16]

Nothing fancy nor high dollar, just working knives for a working guy. If feeling nostalgic and carrying a lever gun, it’s the original Marble’s Woodcraft. Otherwise, the Gerber Gator is typically with me. There are others but 95% of the time I’m carrying one of these two.

For me carbon steel is superior to stainless steel as a knife blade material. A little rust is a small price to pay for the better and longer lasting edge.
I found this maker at the Huntex Show in Johannesburg who produced this, light, superbly comfortable.

The two straight blades got selected from the stock pile to go elk hunting in a few weeks.

The folder is going to grouse camp Oct 2nd

Love a good Gene Ingram blade. Seems last several years I have a couple dozen that go unused since I use Havalon/Hogue scalpel type knives so much.

Factory fixed blades I have used on large game are mostly 4-5" bladed drop points and trailing points like the Western F66 and Spyderco Southfork. I finally designed a custom with high hardness CTS-XHP stainless steel, sort of a modern Woodcraft, and haven't used anything else since.

That knife could be lethal on both ends!

I hope to clean some Grouse with it next week Phil.

My favorite knife when I hunt out of a camp. Has many uses and comes in right handy.

Phil, that knife has seen a lot of action since you sent it westward. Hopefully a lot more this fall.
