Thread: Folding knives

After watching way too many youtube reviews i ended up walking into that shop in Albany (Topgear) and there were probably 5 that i liked the look of. Had a play with the gerber gator (made in the usa not china unless the etching is lies)
Feels rock solid, is S30V steel. Good but not so much so that if i lose it i will cry myself into a coma. Not sure if i'll use the hook as much but it was a free option. The victorinox rangergrip 58 is now unavailable perminantly. No longer on the homesite either

The gut hook can be a real pain when you are fishing around inside an animal (deer) cutting around the diaphragm etc. Seems to catch on everything. Same when cutting around the rectum. You are better to teach yourself how to open the paunch without that gadget and avoid a whole bunch of frustration.

Youtube reviews are fine but often things are quite different when the helicopter lands.
