Thread: New Knife

Sorry if this thread has been done to death.

I have been reading up on a few posts and want to use the massive knowledge base here in this forum.

My cousin recently borrowed my hunting gear for a trip and when he returned it today it was missing my Buck folding knife and my head torch.

He assures me that both of these items were never there but I can guarantee they were.

I’m just asking on here for some advice regarding a basic knife that would be suitable as an all around hunting knife. I don’t have a massive budget so i am really looking for something practical that has a sheath I can fit on my belt that won’t break the bank. I know there are some beautiful knives out there but it might be an investment in a few more years when I am actually filling the freezer.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Mercator folder about $50 carbon steel razor sharp, always goes with me no matter what, I have some fancier knives but the mercator will do everything I need.
The pretty knives are just a magpie thing......yes I am a self confessed magpie

I made the offer once before so I'll make it again to @Camgibbler

I have an M390 Custom hunting knife I'll let you have for $100 plus a Nitecore HC65 for $100
The knifes RRP is $300 and the headlamp RRP is $135



Its not the easiest knife steel to sharpen but if it needs a but of spa treatment just send it back to me and I'll take care of it for you.

Thanks Terryf, that is a very generous offer. At this stage I’ll have to pass sorry as funds cannot stretch that far at the moment.

I appreciate the offer

Hi Terry, I’m keen on one of these knifes if you have another one. PM me your account detail and how much and I’ll transfer the money, full price of cause.

Thanks mate, I have 4 on the way - not too sure of ETA though but will drop you a PM as soon as they arrive - depending on exchange rate and shipping may be slightly up or down on the mentioned RRP. (the downside of a volatile currency market)
