Recommend a knife

[Dave_45]

An expensive knife is a waste of money in my opinion!

Just a fad, look at me, look at me is usually the case.

I suppose you could liken it to Parker hale over a blaser

Both do the same thing , gun go bang deer fall over .

One costs infinitely more than the other and is arguably no more reliable

I guess it's like a lot of things in life, it's a nice thing to own and enjoy but you would cry if you lost it.

Not if you store in a drawer.

Mora's and Opinels are excellent knives, you just need to learn how to correctly sharpen different blades.
Those "Pull through" things are the death knell for a knife.

I’ve had clients turn up here and they’ve shot a deer and asked me to gralloch as they don’t want to use their custom knife

I just laugh call them a poof and crack on!

They’ve actually bought a knife along with them and don’t want to use it?

I’ve spent a lot of money on knives


Now I just use a mora and a Ken onion work sharp

Take two with me in the field because two is one and one is none.

I suppose I’m now in the camp of you want your head examined for spending £400 quid on a knife that you’ll blunt just as easy as the £12 quid mora.

They don’t blunt as quickly as they are better steel, the flip side of that means they are generally harder to sharpen.

Some people just like nice things, some people aren’t bothered and just go for functionality. Neither are wrong, or insane!

 

[25 Sharps]

And I expect the expensive ones are more easily lost because of the law of the sod.

Recently thought of lost one of my Guy Stainthorp knives, not one I’d bought but one of his personal knives that he’d given me. Was dreading telling him but luckily it turned up!

I’ve pretty well tried most blade grinds and the only grind I can sharpen is flat grind in all honesty a strop up now and then is all mine require to keep them razor sharp
Cost wise - buy once cry once and get a half decent blade you like and can sharpen, from trying I know I can’t get a good edge on a scandi grind, no matter what I do I now have only flat grind blades

 

[Sniper308]

Yep more than one

I’m genuinely shocked! Custom knives are usually pretty expensive- far too expensive to take a walk with you with no intention on using it at all.
I have a couple of custom knives, all of which I take care of- wash and strop after each use, occasionally wax the handles.

Also most with custom knifes has a blaser too!

I do chuckle

There's nowt so queer as folk, eh?

Yep I'm one of them, I have a nice Blaser rifle and a few Custom Knives, I also own a nice house and nice car, I could however own a cheap gun and knife live in a rented house and run around in an old banger of a car as they all do the same but hey ho I suppose everyone wants different things in life and why not.
Oh I almost forgot to mention My Blaser is 6.5 CM.

Now you are just showing off

Ok maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the CM

I think they've been playing you. As in a clever way to ensure the Guide gets his hands & knees dirty.

I have quite a few custom knives, all have been used, probably more than your mora, mind you I dressed out a wild bull with a mora, boned, quarted and skinned, don,t own a blazer though, kimber for me.
