Knives. best Hunting knife

[freyasman]

I'm currently re-reading "With a Vengeance" by Marcus Wynne. You should check it out; great thriller novel with a lot about knives in the story.

Thanks, probable enjoy the hell out of it. I actually Read John Ross "Unintended Consequences" twice. Might again.

Damn good book; read it probably 20 years ago.

Sure was and is. I got them all. Lever action, Molon labe, enemies foreign and domestic. Vin Sup's black arrow, many more, all good.

The four pocket clip-ons are on my person at all times. The fuzzy handled knife is my fishing/fillet knife. The two bowies have been my choice for serious hunting trips. Skinning knife at bottom.

Cool. 2nd one up does it for me. I'll have my knife shop up and going again soon (moved) www.hermitriver.com galleries and thumbs at the bottom.

I've worked as a knife hand. Those things make me ache just to look at them.

I just bought this KABAR BK9 with a Kyvex sheath.

I carry a sharpfinger every day.

That's a good knife, and about $20 if I recall. I never understood these guys who spend $4-500 on a knife to take hunting. Same guys who use a $4,000 rifle that shoots better than they ever will, probably.

My EDK knife is a Benchmade Osborne axis lock. It cost me 200 bucks almost 25 years ago. I have used it and used it and even abused it, and it is still going strong. That's why I buy 200 dollar knives. They are tools. The better they are, the longer they last. Like the old adage says, "beware the man with one knife. He probably knows how to use it".

Cool, man. My point is that a tool doesn't always need to be expensive to be good. I use a Morakniv carbon steel knife for hunting. It functions beautifully and set me back $16.

Its going to rust. Expensive knives wont. Carbon steel is also soft. That thing will bend or break if you use it too hard.

...or i should have said "cheap carbon steel is soft". You want at least 1095 carbon steel, which will also rust if you dont oil it, but its easy to remove.

The Mora is one of the few knives in this thread I'd actually consider buying. Though, admittedly, if I did I'd probably file more drop point on to it.

Eriksson's carbon steel blades are 1095 hardened to 59-60 on the Rockwell scale; Frosts' carbon steel blades are 1095 hardened to 58-59. Mora of Sweden uses 1095 carbon at 58-59 Rockwell. Eriksson's stainless is Sandvik 12C27 modified at 57-58 Rockwell. Frosts' stainless is Sandvik 12C27 at 56-58.​
