Thread: Knives to Use for Hunting

@fourzerofouronyourdoor @Deanohit

Thx. I'll get a victory.

Sooo, I might have stuffed up.
I couldn't get a 15cm victory boning knife. Only 20cm which is a bit long. Sooo, 19cm straight filliting looked same shape bought one of those instead.

Any other differences?
Do the job?

Only thing i can think of is it might be a bit flexible, shape looks right.

I order most of mine locally but the Victory website is decent, this is the knife I use the most at home

At the moment I have a bunch of discarded Knifecut ones from work (some still have good life but they're all boning/straight knives), a small buck pocket knife that has a few kinks and a Miguel combat knife for basically everything else.

Is it worth getting a dedicated curved skinning knife and boning knife?

id look at th discarded work ones. i use a knifekut sheep skinner profile as EDC. not so much belly as a skinner n bit more of a point. it gets arseholes

So after 45 years of using knives most days from the kitchen to the chiller and feild and buying very expensive beautiful knives I now use the plain old victory skinner and boning knives for any thing meat related and global knives in the kitchen with a couple of the new world smeg knives that go pretty well for what they are.
I just recently bought a warthog sharpener which is easy, clean and works very well.
I am also a dab hand at free hand sharpening and own a fantastic guided eze-sharp made obsolete by this very simple warthog.
The only other knife I bought recently is the copy of the swing blade EKA.
fantastic for opening up skin and gut bags when dealing with hairy & woollen animals .
My 2 cents on knives and sharpening!

I have a collection of about 25 Bark River knives.
But I often use the Victory "Clarke Boys" knife and have ordered one of these Victorys'. It's got a little drop to its point. https://victoryknives.co.nz/narrow-c...ng-knife-12cm/
Looks ideal for arse ringing and gutting Fallow.

Bark Rivers are nice knives though!

"The only other knife I bought recently is the copy of the swing blade EKA."

Is that like the Svord Peasant knife?

Can’t go past the Bahco, sharp AF off the shelf, loose it, go buy another

No it's dual blade with a locker.
I have had and lost 2 peasant knives.
I would rather a mercator than a peasant knife.
I bought of ali express for FA and it seems to be as good a quality as the Eka.
Pretty handy little knife.

Had to laugh when I saw this , do you hide the knife stash somewhere so the Mrs never sees them and she thinks you just have a couple .....

Out of curiosity, what would be the most used one or one that jumps out as a favourite?

I would guess whichever one is sharp enough for the job

I've bought a few knives for hunting.
Someone a lot more experienced than me told me that skinny bladed knives with a sharp point are a lot more use than "I'm stuck on a desert island like Bear Grylls" Survival type knives.

At the moment I use a Havalon Piranta surgical disposable blade folding knife. Just about the skinniest
thing around.
