Thread: Recommendations for a folding knife for field dressing.

90 pingers for a mercator that can fold back on you if you arent careful is a bit rich.
Don't get me wrong, great little knives but that is a fecking lot for a very basic knife.
Pressed tin sides etc. Paying heaps for the blade

The Farmlands Mercator copy is about $12.00. Done a truckload of deer no dramas, fucked if I know how people fold them in use and cut themselves.

Even local H&F only charge $60 from memory. Been using Mercator knives for 48 years and never had one play up apart from disappearing on me. I might be a bit cynical but people rabbit on about them folding back on them yet they’re probably happy to buy an Opinel or Peasant knife ffs.
