knives

[Dom]

I have akabar with a 6 inchblade been using about 10 years what kind and size do most use

[adirondackbushwhack]

I have a Buck that is my go to knife. I've had it for years, it's a model 118 I don't remember the name of it but it closely resembles their current pathfinder knife only with a lighter 5 inch blade.

[Lawdwaz]

I carry different ones all the time. The past couple years for gutting I'm using a Wayne Clay folder quite a bit. That will probably change this year as I have a newer Gene Wiseman to bloody.

Sometimes a fixed blade, either an Ingram or a Denning.

I enjoy my blades!

schrade old timer sharpfinger 3 1/2" blade super sharp. In my opinion the perfect knife for gutting an skinning deer. I don't like folders they are too difficult to clean.

I have 2 kershaw folders for EDC one is a leek the other is a scallion and a buck knife for hunting

[fasteddie]

My preference is my K-bar with a 4" blade . I've had it for years . It's older than a lot of folks on this site !

[Dom]

yea I realy like mine holds an edge for long time best ive found

[WNYBuckHunter]

Ive got an old Schrade guthook. Holds a great edge and gets the job done. Ive thought about replacing it with a folding knife to make it a bit easier to carry, but a folder would just be tougher to keep clean and working. Part of my attempt to KISS.

[fasteddie]

I keep my knives in my backpack . I had one in a sheath on my belt and dropped it one time . Took me 3 hours of back tracking to find it . I couldn't just leave it as it was on a trail that the Genesee Valley Hunt Club rides on .

[Daveboone]

My main deer hunting knife is my Buck 110 folder. Tough to improve on it for utility and edge holding. I have also cleaned many a deer with a good old boy scout knife and swiss army.

[nyantler]

The Shrade Old Timer 152 Sharpfinger.. the only knife I have ever used... I have 3 of them.. the older ones made in the USA with American steel are best...

[Pygmy]

There are some classic knives..

Fasteddie...I'm not surprised that an old GYRENE like yourself carries a Kbar. <<grin>>...

The Schrades and Buck 110's are classics also.

I have a Buck 110 that my ex-wife bought me on our first Xmas together 40 years ago. I sure don't miss her, but I'd feel TERRIBLE if I lost that knife !! I have backtracked several times and pawed through gut piles to recover that knife. In September of 1989, I used that knife to butcher TWO big Alaska bull moose in one day by myself, while my partner hiked back to the river for more supplies before we spent a week packing the moose back to the river we were floating. The blade is honed down to about half of it's original depth.. I have retired it because I have other knives and would not want to chance losing it.

The two knives I use most often now are a Buck fixed blade zipper and a 3" Puma Folder.. I bought the Puma for my Dad in the late 70's for about $40. he used to to skin coon for a few years, and then when he passed away in '94, I re-inherited it. It takes an edge faster than my Bucks and seems to hold it nearly as long.. An equivalent Puma today sells for $150-200..

I have a number of fixed blade Case knives and a few others that I use at odd times.. My favorite filet/boning knife is a cheap RADA. It has filleted thousands of fish and boned out and cut up plenty of deer, along with a few caribou, moose, elk, antelope and wild hogs..

I carry the same Kabar as Ed. I also have a case xx that my Dad got me when I was a junior in high school and I still carry it just because it is my good luck piece.

I can always count on you to class the place up a little.

Havalon Piranta.....Dull? Put a new one in for 12 cents. Nice orange plastic handle too.......

Not exactly the feel of an Ingram, huh, Lawdwaz ?

I'm an enigma......

Got a new to me Blaser 300 WBY barrel to try out.....should be here mid-week. Gonna put a Kahles 2.5-10 50 TDS redicle for now, had that in the safe. Now I need a hunt so it can wack something with it.

[RangerClay]

I have been using this 4" Buck Woodsman for quite a few years. I like it and it holds a wicked edge.

I have and use the Sharade OT with the guthook for many years. Great steel and holds and edge very well. Currently my go to knife is a Gerber set with replacable blades (guthook, skinner, and small saw). I find the Gerber steel very reliable as well and sharpens quiet easily.

[Skillet]

I have a couple Pumas. One is a White Hunter, not sure of the model on the other, it was my grandfather's.

[max3]

Modern day Puma game warden folding knife.

Might be a good time of the year to post up pictures of all these knives since we can't hunt deer for awhile......................................Hint!!

After my cabin was broken into and they stole all our hunting knives. I lost two Buck knives with fixed blades and my favorite case knife I had for over 40 years. Replaced them with K-bar's they reminder me of my old case knife. They were excellent for field dressing, no complaints. Bought one for my brother and my son they really liked the feel of the k-bar.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, that's like losing an old friend.

[wooffer]

I use a fixed blade Gerber or Buck? Only models still made in the USA. I don't like the metalurgy of the CHINK (cheap horrible imitation nasty krap) blades.

[Larry]

i use a buck with a 3.5" blade in pink camo there a 3 reasons why i use pink camo 1 they didn't have it in blaze 2 when i put it down while gutting a deer i wont loose it. 3 being pink camo no one will steal it.
