Anyone know anything about this knife?

[miketx]

A friend gave it to me and I can't find any info on it. It says American Hunter on one side of the blade and Pakistan on the other. It sharpened up really good and cuts stuff easily. Here's a couple of shots:

The butt cap is unusual and the knife is 9 and 1/4 inches long. Thanks in advance.

It looks like deer antler.

I have heard of em. Just cheap knives made in Pakistan. Probably just a skinning knife.
Cheap doesn't mean bad, though!

It's an older skinner from American Hunter. You can tell by the upswept blade and the beefy grip. It's a good knife, but not particularly collectable or anything.

That's all that really counts. No one really needs VG10 steel that holds its edge for 10 years heavy use in a skinning utility knife.

You mean antler. I don't think bone works for knife handles, but antler does.

It's all basically the same thing. Antler is an outgrowth of the bone in the skull with slight changes. Obvious, I never meant to imply a bone from inside the body.

 

[Shawnee_b]

Bone makes fine knives. Most jacknives are "jigbone". Bone has even been used for blades by some tribes.

That is sambar stag.

 

[kseeding]

Love bone handles. No two are exactly alike. Keep in mind there are a lot of types of bone from cow to camel to various stags to mammoth.

That's why I like the word inexpensive rather than cheap.

I have some knives I got for little money that I have used for years.
