    So the hunt for a knife goes on...... I mst have done 4 hours of scrolling through the Top Gear and Blademaster websites.

    The Kommer got crossed off as it's made in china and several others after many others despite names like K Bar, Ontario etc produce knives outta China. Seems even some of the German companys do to. It seems to depend on the price point. Some products on the lower end are designed in the States etc by some great knife designers but produced outside the States , Germany etc.
    Which is cool, I ve have had / got some awesome products out of China but want something not made in China this time.
    So it's down to at this point:

    Grohman mini Russell folder / high carbon stainless / made in Canada. ( blade is shaped like a Canadian belt knife )

    Knives of Alaska feather weight hunter / D2 steel / made in USA

    Knives of Alaska Model 410 / D2 steel / made in USA

    Sog Twitch 2 / Aus 8 / made in USA

    I know about the steel Thar, point taken and bloody good advice but I am only using this on rabbits.
    The other blade Hot Barrels is a Kershaw Bear Hunter, fixed blade, 810mov stainless, very sharp, China but an excellent skinner on larger game. I use that with a $35 meat workers Victinox boner, combo works well and one acts as a back up knife to the other if I have a breakage out in the hills.
