Thread: Size of your hunting knife?

I use a 50 year old green river & a mercator
Totally agree with Shooter & Turtle

Harumph! The back of the average blade is sharper than a whole lot of ‘journalists’!

the kershaw is my go to , 120mm drop point (smidge under 5" for you oldies)with a sticky grip handle
the buck folder sits in my survival kit
and the hunters element ,95mm

The thing they leave out is most “specialist knife stores” are for chef knives. I’ve purchased 90% of my hunting knives from house of knives which is basically kitchen equipment especially knives. Doesn’t sound as provocative when they say it was purchased at a kitchen supplies shop

Had a kershaw, lost it, now I have another one coming thanks to HandH, also have lost a puma, Bahco, numerous green rivers and have ended up using a Swiss army pocket knife on more than one occasion.
Mercator or the sheffield clone is a good standby.

Full sized Ka-Bar when pig hunting for the non slip handle, full tang blade, hand guard on knife and a little extra length if sticking from behind.

Mora Kansbol with multi-mount for everything else. Super sharp stainless steel blade which is easy to touch up if required. Ok handle with some non slip aspect. Mainly chosen for cross mounting whilst culling.

Generally always have a leatherman on me too, can do everything with that too if necessary.

be interesting watching you cut pooh hole of yearling fallow with that.....I carried a trimontina of similar size for awhile,till tried to stick 80lb pig and found it wouldnt fit in sticking hole.....got carried in door of work truck for branches across gateways,no plurry good for anything else.

This is a stupid big knife won at a shooting comp.

4 inches fixed or folding. I used to carry a 6.5 inch Svord bowie when I was pig hunting, good for sticking pigs but it's way too big for general hunting use.

4" blade fixed is my go to. Its actually a budget fake Buck from Ali but holds an edge quite nicely.

Bit of length for doing the arse end is handy.

This guys knives are beautiful!

Yeah these journalists must have watched Rambo when he said he used his knife for hunting.
Cop: Hunting what?
Rambo: (looks menacing) Name it

Sigh... We are surrounded by morons
