Thread: Victory Knives

After having used both Victory and Victorinox as a butcher there's really no difference between the two except price. Modern Victorinox knives aren't the same as they were 30+ years ago. A sharp Victory boner will do a full morning (4-hours) of beef boning before needing a quick touch up (10-mins on the stone) before another 4 hours of mixed boning (sheep/pork/chicken etc).

A full morning of beef boning (which is way harder on a knife than venison) is more than anyone will ever do on a hunting trip. So save the money and buy a Victory and use the hundreds of dollars you've saved for gas to go hunting! I love knives but all I use for hunting is a shitty old Buffalo River drop point. Holds an edge fine for hunting. I have just bought a Victory drop point hunter ($25) because I prefer a smaller knife, and prefer the shape to the Buffalo.
