Thread: Hunter Element knife

Hi all. I'm on the market for a new hunting/bush knife. I don't have a massive budget and saw some decent looking knifes from $100 to $150, two were Hunters Element. Are they any good? What does everyone recommend? Whats a good brand for affordable knives? Its a shame no one in nz sells Victorinox hunting/bush knives because I love their pocket knives.

You can get a good Knives of Alaska knife for around that money.

I use the Alpha wolf. https://www.top-gear.co.nz/shop/SHOP...l+-+326FG.html
Mine has the Micrata handle though but is almost $100 more.

Look at the outdoor edge 3.5 inch razor lite.. hunters element are ok, need regular sharpening, heavy. Good in the hard though, strong build

yes they are here forsale....
shit loads of them around to buy.
PERSONALLY the best knife for me is a green river bushmans friend..victorinox do one the same as do knifcut but call it a rabbiters knife which is the one I use now. sort of best of all worlds,close to a boning knife,pointy enough for sticking pigs,curvy enough for skinning long enough to do bigger jobs and small enough for fiddly jobs...less than hundy bucks and for me....they just work.

Go buy 7 bahcos

Is that those orange handle things they sell at farmlands?

I got one of those but needing something a bit more robust

Victorinox are readily available. Try knifeguy.co.nz, knife.co.nz , or nisbets.co.nz. There are others as well.

- I really like the look of these. I don't have one, but have others in the range and they're awesome. I believe they do sheaths for them as well. https://www.savebarn.co.nz/victorino...n-handle-50140

- Outdoor Edge replaceable blade knives. Ridiculously cheap on AliExpress, not much more in NZ.

- Gerber Gator knives with drop point, folder or fixed blade.

All hunting knives rather than bush knives. All cheap, none will be family heirlooms, but they will do the job.

In that case, maybe two knives? One bush knife and one for animal preparation.
