A Buck Trapper has been a favorite of mine for some time but I dread sharpening it. Last year I bought some inexpensive Moras from http://www.amosoutdoors.com with their beveled Scandinavian edge. Don't let the price fool ya, they WORK ! ! !

Gerber zipper is great and I would not be without one. Next on my list would be the Cold Steel Carbon V with its excellent handle although overall it's a bit large.

My Gene Ingram drop point is #1 on my list but it's expensive and I don't take it out much.

This is a stock photo of it from the guy I bought it from. Book-End desert ironwood scales and yes it has been blooded.

The knife I like the best for gutting & skinning is the Spyderco Bill Moran it has vg-10 steel which is stainless and takes an edge very well. The blade is short and thin with a flat grind. I haven't found a knife that I like any better or works as well for me.


My Bill Moran goes on every hunt with me. First knife in pic:

d.h.russell canadian pattern. dont have pics. and dont know how to like a web sight. thin enough to slice cheese, veg. deep enough to spread mustard ect. dose a fine job on trout,and birds. may not sound as glamorous as cutting a giant elk, but my knife will cut more sticks for a stream side meal of fish than capping a any big game. oh it dose a fine job on white tale to. cant beat the price mine was rusty and give to me.

The case knives look great, but I prefer s30v steel and unfortunately they do not make one. I have had knives of many different kinds and have personally found it to be best.

This has turned into a good discussion on knives.

Somebody should start a new thread on "Favorite Hunting Knives" (photos required lol)
\:D


If no one does I just might when I get back in town...

'til then anybody is welcome to get 'er started.

SBHunter.....Case has teamed up with Tony Bose to make special runs of knives from 154cm. One of them is the Arkansas Hunter (which I would love to have one) it commands about a $300-400 price tag. They do not make very many of them but they do make some in the super steels. Keep checking them out. They may make something in s30v in the future.

Oh, can I play? My Granpa was born in Finland in 1890. He died in 1972. I was 9, so I remember him, but not much interaction. We lived 4 hours apart. So when he died, he left his estate to his youngest doughter who had health issues. Well, my Aunt died in 2007. My brother who lived close to her brought down some stuff that she had been hanging on to. One was Grampa's '35 Winchester modle 12 pump shottie in 16 guage. Sweet 16. The other was a Fiskars (yeah, the guys who make the orange handled sissors, now owned by 3m) Puko knife. I contacted Fiskars (named for the town of Fiskar, Finland, home of a old forge with good reputation). They said the knife dated from about 1890. Puko's are a 'working knife' not a fighting knife. They typicaly have sheaths that cover almost the whole knife. Mine has a longer than usually blade, but looked just like some in the photos they sent me. Wicked sharp. It had not seen the light of day for over 30 years and was sharp. I whipped it on a dimond real quick and it fairly sang when I ran my thumb across it. I cleaned my first deer with it. Sweet knife. No, it is not for sale.


BTW, the shottie:

Second from the top. This 'group shot' was "guns that put fud on the table".
