Thread: Any recommendations for a hunting knife?

Fencing staples and broad heads are in short supply in the Kaweka tops



And I'm not allowed to take a broad with sharp fingernails




So i just have to remember my knife

Curious as to know what the best knife design is for hunting Drop point, Curved or Clip. is there one that can do everything for the hunter or is more knives the better approach, then there is the need for seperate pig sticker as well if you head out after pigs every now and then

I have lots of knives, and can attest to the fact that to a large extent, you get what you pay for. All knives can perform all jobs, but they are generally designed for a specific purpose therefore more knives are better. For hunting I carry two piggybacked together - a Bark River Fox River and a Bark River Woodsman Special. The two sizes complement each other very well. For boning out I use a NZ made Duel boning knife. The blade shape and wooden handle are just superb for the task.
