Hunting knives?

[DBake]

What is the make and model of your knife?

I am currently looking at Knives of Alaska trying to decide on what model.

KOA, Alpha Wolf, thats what the pard and I carry. I've also been known to carry Cold Steel Master Hunter and Mini Penelton Hunter series. I tend to favor the Alpha Wolf....

I currently have a Kershaw, the one with the replaceable blades not sure what the model is.  It's been a good knife but I will soon be picking up one of the following.

Blade Tech with S30V steel http://www.blade-tech.com/Wegner-Pro-Hunters-Knife-Extreme-G-10-Plain-Edge-pr-806.html

Bench Made with S30V steel http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=745

Both of these knives are outstanding.

I use Knives of Alaska, great knives...I like the option of having an orange handle incase you drop it at night.

I use a elk hunter sure grip.

My back up is a Kershaw

I am currently using a kershaw whirlwind. It is an alright Knife, it is affordable, but I have had a hard time getting it back to a sharpness where it can shave my arm hair. I bought a cutco 2 3/4" lockback knife, which is supposed to have a higher quality of steel used for the blade. Hopefully it will be easier to sharpen compared to my kershaw, it could just be an error on my part of sharpening it though. I also looked at the drop point model that they had, nice knife, supposedly can dress out something like 8 animals before it will ever need to sharpened.

Bark River Knife, I have the Gamesman I think it was called model.  These knives are very stready.  Thick tangs and have a convex edge as opposed to most knives that have a concave edge. 

do a google search for them.

I also have a Bark River, good knife.  Used a 1980's model Gerber for many years also good steel.  Had a knife built by Roe Morris from Auburn, met him at the Puyallup Sportmans show last year, took delivery in Dec. so did not get to use it in 07.

Any one else have a Morris knife?  He did a beautiful job on mine

Got a picture of a Morris knife?

My hunting knife is a Schrade that is 30-31yrs old.  Cut up a lot of game.  I also pack a Steel Wyoming knife.  This year I gutted, and cut up my daughters deer with a free "Danner" Gerber.  I have a Knives of AK caping knife.  I like it and it works great.  Personally I would like it to hold an edge a little better.  Feels a little soft in the steel, but works great.  Just tried a Kershaw USA folder is SS normal edged assisted opener.  I am getting one soon.  Awesome knife with a great blade design  100 bones at Sportsmans.  Just checked on-line, and 82.00 bucks at Knifeworks.com. http://www.knifeworks.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8498

bob dozier professional guides knife, good general purpose, great for the heavy stuff, works well as a skinner, actually have used it more for rattlesnake than anything else. other is a ag russel arkansas tooth pick bone handle walker lock, been the best knife i have ever owned, daily carry and usually the only one i pack in the field, has cleaned several deer and even boned a few out, have been able to handle the whole job with this knife, it is said this design has gutted more deer than any other, just like guns though, you cant have too many, always wanting and adding more, just happen to use this one the most

The best by far my father has both and i love them. As soon as i can afford them i will buy them also. I have used alot of knives on Elk, bear, deer, coyotes, cougar, birds. Lots of different skins and furs there that would dull a regular blade up quick. These are the best and will stay sharp animal after animal and never need a re-sharpening. Great on those trips were you are hunting with three or four other guys and end up being the guy who has the Knives. If you know what i mean...............



And they have a warrenty just like leupold scopes. They forever warrenty these and sharpen them no matter who owns them. but me and my father have yet to need to......

These are a purchase that would save alot of people money in the future. One good investment. Get the cutco sportsman knives.

i like a plain old gerber pocket knive, a KOA muskrat skinner, and a handmade knife my g-pa made out of spring steel, railroad spikes, and other knives.
these stay in the side pocket of my pack at all times..
the KOA  d-2 steel is a little tuff to sharpen,, but it is super resistant to weather.. love the rounded point

Idabooner has the best hunting knife I have ever used.  That thing just looks at a moose hide and it peels off.  I hope he forgets it at my house again.  Last time it took alot of effort to take it back to him.

I really like the Knives of Alaska stuff.... great knife.  Buck still makes a good knife.

I think knives is what adds the most weight to my packs.   I generally carry several, 2 different sized Ruana knives, a Whitetail Skinner, 2 different sized Cabelas Alaskan Guide Series Buck knives, a small pocket steal, a pocket sharpening tool, a Wyoming Saw kit and most importantly a caping kit with dozens of blades courtesy of my friends at Fidalgo Taxidermy. I suppose they got tired of knife caped animals and decided that the time spent doing repairs, out weighed the cost of the kit I highly recommend the kits, maybe Michelle can put some together at a discounted price? Obviously I don't hike with all of them all at once, but do pac a couple if I'm going to be any distance from the car.
