Hello
There are so many different knives available when first thinking about the right one to use. We always say invest in quality! Knives are tools and there is nothing worse than being let down by low quality tools. But quality does not necessarily mean expensive, and learn how to keep it sharp, blunt knives cause injuries! Our blog post has a few of our preferred choices, ranging in all different prices.

Re Bushwear knives - does exactly what you want, i.e. cuts things and stays sharp. And being bright orange, are very difficult to lose, even amongst deep heather. Using an expensive knife may well be a joy and a thing of beauty, but think of how much heartache and pain in the wallet, if you lose it. And if you do a lot of stalking, in remote areas, you will at some stage. Bushwear ones at a fiver(?) won't break the bank. More important than the knife, is what you sharpen it with. I prefer one of the diamond steels, used every time the knife is used, to maintain the edge.

Actually, around £5 - £7.50 will get you a perfectly good knife for hunting and gralloching.
Once you have lost your first custom made super-hard steel handcrafted buffalo horn ivory signed engraved and very, very expensive knife after a gralloch in the dark in long grass you will never, ever, take an expensive knife out on a hunting trip again.

Some cracking work there Nick as usual
that said I'd rather loose the "Essex Bird" it would'nt hurt the pocket as much don't you think...
I've grown fond of the simple things in life.....the Mora though a plain jane
apart from the loud colours (easily found if lost !) gets the job done,
WELL I might add ! WAWAWEEWA Nick.
Rgds, Billy
thanks for this.
I'm sure you will. Does seem to be similar to the rifle. You could pay up for a top of the market brand when a more simpler off the shelf will do the job perfectly well.
Have to say, I'm not too sure I will be one to get too excited on the blade front. will take a look though

My knives as shown in the photo are 'working knives' they are plain jane high carbon,one is a re handled Green River blade and the other two were made for me by a mate from Tassy. He cut the blades out of an old cross cut saw blade with a cold chisel then did the shaping.Simple brass pins,no fancy mosaic needed.
And no they dont have the 'wow' factor of my other custom knives I have here at all but they are super useful working knives. Lets forget the Hollywood models when we are skinning a 700 pound stag and go for the old GR...I say this from not only many years of deer hunting but also as an ex slaughterman that has had to rely on a proper knife whilst on the chain.
Too me it they don't have to be a beautiful work of art they have to be able to be a reliable tool and those in the pic certainly have stood the test of time.
There is not a better skinning blade shape in the world imo than the GR.

CPM S90V is a case in point, lots of the super steels can hold an edge and there's much satisfaction to be had in getting them sharp, but CPM S90V has been a revelation to me, it seems to take a very robust and 'toothy' edge from the medium stone, that cuts and cuts. Better than a £10 mora? No, but for longer certainly.
Secretly I envy people who don't get the knife thing, they just cut things without a care in the world.
