Thread: Choosing a knife?

Spot on Rushy, a sharp knife is a safe knife.
Iv bought them iv made them and the really good ones I lose so for the last 4 or5 yeatrs I had a cheap greenriver. it did the job but I took a lot of the point off it to give it some shape and the edge would really onlyu last for one feild dressing.
Definitely recommend at least having a look at our forum advertiser Zedteq knives. Reasonable price for a quality hand made NZ knife by someone who is supporting our forum.
Heres the one I got. I love the non slip Handel. Blade is a little deeper than i would like ideally but it will only get shallower


Have a talk to him im sure he would make whatever you require.

after heaps of lost fancy knives, i just use a green river boning knife for...everything haha, works awesome

Yip a boning knife will do it all and they are the best for the job, that why the professionals (abitoirs/freezing worker, butchers etc..) all use them. Bonus with this style of blade is that it takes an edge quickly and only needs a tickle with a steel every now and then. And they're cheap at $40ish, so if you loose one its not the end of the world.

But if you want something different, then go for it?
