Mine are all around 10cm blade length.
This is my nicest (and most $) one. From Romania.

soooo purdy

you going to need to being that with you next time I see you so I can drool all over that. something special about stag antler handles

Opinel number 8.

I normally carry two knives when hunting, both well over 30 years old and still going strong. One is my 5.5" S&W Outdoorsman which is a large, heavy drop-point that is good for skinning, legging, bone breaking and gutting. The other is my every-day Schrade Srimshaw Old Timer 4" folder that gets more use than the big S&W, too pointed for skinning but good for everything else, especially ringing, but I wouldn't try and break bones with it. If I could only have one then it would be the Schrade. Both have excellent steel and edge holding.

these are my (lucky knifes) left one I brought for my twin brother a few years ago and the black one I found on my first ever tahr hunt. I did try to find the owner of it but to no avail. I now take both the knifes with me on every hunt as I’m not 100% sure what one is the lucky knife as both have been with me on my 10 chammy and 13.5 bull tahr any every culling trip In between!

Beware hide your knives

all but 2 or 3 of the posts in this thread are very pretty shiny knives,,,,,,, so

Currently using a Bahco. I have a fixed blade Gerber which is a similar size to the Bacho but weighs a lot more and no sharper.

Taff, I would like one of those UK style gralloching ? / gutting knives for opening deer out but did you really pay 550+ uk pounds for it as per their website?

I have a confession, I New these boys when they started out making knives, and helped design the Cael AR ,it stands for adrian/ Richard. The one in the picture was a leaving present from Richard when I left the Uk, it is one of three made using a kershaw steel, they usually use AEBL, so no is the answer, would I pay that much for a knife , that’s a bit like asking a lady her age.

Taff, I’d like one of that pattern but might have to get it made locally. Even in the uk those prices would be steep but a 2:1 exchange rate they are 1100-1500 $!

Nice blade never the less.

Ps don’t need to ask the age but good to get a look at their mum to know what your getting!
