    Re: Choosing a knife?

    Avoid the gut hook for now learn to do it properly. You just cant do the arsehole with a gut hook.
    Just get a mercator for now and after a while u will know what u want in a knife yiurself

    Hi Phillipgr, over the years Ive had a few knives, havent lost them, just plain worn them out.

    I was looking at buying a new knife, my faithful Buck has got a large crack in blade close to the heal, from cracking to many rabbit and hare legs, literally thousands!
    I was looking Bucks etc and one day I took a good mate and his son on a goat shoot and he produced this little knife that caught my eye, so much so next day I went and
    brought one, Ive used it for skinning, capeing, gutting even headskinning!it holds an edge well and better yet if you pay more than $15 youve paid too much!

    Sad to say you buy them from Bunnings the brand is a Bahco. This was the easiest link I could find for you to see what they look like.

    Get this! Cheap, cheerful and very good stainless. Much better than my mercator.

    i'm in the same boat as yourself and just decided to go with a buck 110 for now and take it from there, scored one off ebay factory blemished, when it turned up it looked fine to me had tiny marks on it but ive already put my own bigger marks on it from just using it ! good score for 55 nz to your door
