Thread: Jack versus old Jack

So would you call this a slightly smaller lighter Jack style knife ?



Made and gifted to me by a good friend.
Only had it about a year and it's broken down a lot of deer.
Faultless style of knife for my type of hunting.
Maybe a little lighter than @Tentman's type.
But I'm not feeding farm dogs
It's in its sheath and in my pack.
Both knife and sheath have hi viz tape on them because I usually finish up my animals in the dark

Nice. I avoid those front quillions (the brass guard sticky down bit) 'cos they catch in the body cavity when gutting. But most good knives have them, so the smaller the better for me.

I very rarely gut my deer
Skin and take the wheels off
Back straps through to the neck
Don't take the eye fillet because then I don't need to gut.

All that and it's all I can carry anyway and I'm usually some hours from the truck

I get a real thrill every time I take this knife out to use it
