Title: Benchmade Knives
Post by: Utah on June 28, 2015, 05:26:18 PM: Anyone have a folder for hunting? I just bought the Fixed Blade Steep Country hunter.

Kinda wish I'd bought the North Fork

I think the havalons are great.My deer last year and the year before I broke down to come inside completely with one.
