    Question Best hunting knife unders $100?

    Hi all, looking for a hunting knife for skinning/boning out. Can be simple as just has to be durable and hold an edge. What has worked for you guys?
    Btw with my budget im not too fussed on aesthetics although thats a bonus. Would take durability over looks all day
    Cheers

    x2 Bachos* and a victoriox boning knife for using at home for boning out/butchery.

    Total of ~$80. That leaves $20 in the budget for a sharpening steel from the local op-shop. My personal theory on that is getting an old steel, I've found they are often better quality steel.

    Mercator is the go. The Bahco's are pretty impressive for the money also, especially when new, but keep in mind it seems only certain people will ever be proficient at sharpening a scandi grind and I for one am not one of those people

    I have played around reshaping and adjusting knives for years to find the perfect blade.... As near to it as it gets, I reckon is the Victory 'Narrow curved Boner 13cm' Hollow Ground. Code 2 72013HG200. Go for the blue handle

    Victory 4" drop point hunter, 6" curved boning knife, or 6" outdoors knife (same as Bushaman's friend). You could buy the 3 and be under $100...

    I love the little NZ-made Victory Drop Point Hunter knives. This colour should make it harder for me to lose in the bush.... I'm definitely a function over form person... Bought directly from Victory for $25 ($10 cheaper than anywhere else) plus $9.99 postage and overnight delivery.... You don't need expensive knives for hunting....
