Anyone use any of there knives and thoughts
-
I been eyeballin' those 3 knife sets for I dunno how long :chuckle:
-
Two sets for hunting and a pair of filet knifes. Like them a lot. Also...I broke the tip off two, sent 5 hem all in for sharpening, the charged me $25 for sharpening and replaced the two no questions asked.

My brother has the brown bear skinner/cleaver that knife was bad ass we skinned his whole bear out with it and hacked right thru the leg bones know problem i was amazed how well that cleaver worked on skinning
-
I used my friends "cub bear" last year to bone out my entire bull right where he layed. I was so impressed with the weight distribution and the comfort of using it in and around the bones/joints. I was also equally impressed with the strength and comfort of the hatchet and saw. The only downfall to them is the price, but worth every cent IMO. Lucky for me I got them for Christmas fro my wife.

I have two of them and they are good knives. Kinda of expensive but they are well built. I've gutted and skinned about 20 deer with the larger of the two I have and it holds an edge well. They're on sale on the cabelas website from time to time and when they are it is a good deal.
-
I have a set and they work good. I have a Kershaw Blur with S30V steel that is better. The blur, along with a Havalon, are the ultimate set for me.
-
I have a trekker, the bush camp, and a set of the fillet knives. Excellent steel.

My old man passed down a combo set that he used in the '90s up in Alaska on several animals. I sat down and put a proper edge on them up to 6000 grit on my wet stones (took about 4 hours). Once the edge is achieved, the knives hold it very well and get VERY sharp. It just takes forever to sharper
-
I own a few. Great quality, but I feel there are much better options on the market today of better quality and design for less. :twocents:
-
Good knives, but the steel is too hard and too brittle for my taste. Ibe made a few knives and 70-80 pt carbon steel seems to work well and tempers well. Old files do not work well. I have one store bought knife, a Benchmade, and its nice, but still(no pun intended) too hard.
-
:) I have a set, two knives and a saw. Sheath is good quality, knives are OK, about like a Old Timer (Schrade), after using it, I leave the set in my truck for what ever. definitely not my favorites. easy to sharpen but dull easy and quick. In this level of knives I'd take Case over these any time.

I love my muskrat and cub bear they have done great on many animals. Keep in mind they are not pry bars so the brittleness of the blade should not even be of concern. :tup:
-
I have an Elk Hunter that I have taken care of 7 deer and one elk with (total). I took care of 1.5 deer and an Elk with it on a backcountry trip (which I though was a lot to ask of one knife) and it was great.
I am pretty sentimental with my knives, using the same knife for many, many, years but the Elk Hunter goes everywhere now.
-
I have the brown bear combo, triple combo, and the alpha wolf. All are great knives, hold an edge like crazy, and will last a few generations. I bring my alpha wolf when I elk hunt in deep as the other sets are quite heavy. They have a great warrantee also, not that I had to use it. Lol. I feel there are the best knives at their price point.
-
I own several of them and have never been disappointed I had one in my hand when the time came to use them.
