What and how many knifes when in the field!

[labrador77]

Frost knives for me, I carry a few in my rucksack,. I find them an ideal size, comfortable to use, keep a good edge and they are very good value for money. I have the bushwear orange handle version too. I use a little folding Buck knife for rabbits/hares and sharpen all of them with a Bladetech sharpener.

I am a professional stalker and have been using a lakeland plastics knife bright colours slips in your pocket easily swedish blade,good shape to slip into atlas joint and only costs £3.98. Think they are advertised as a potatoe peeler so if you do not like it you can always give it to the wife.

I carry a fixed bladed Buck Alpha as main knife, plus a leatherman multitool for all the odd jobs you need to do. Will also use the latter as a backup and the saw blade is good for opening up a pelvis / rib cage in the field if needs be. I also have an openal which is a fantastic blade but slippery when wet.

I always take an opinel with a 2 3/4" blade everywhere i go, then when stalking i have a Mora 2000 on my belt too. In my roe-sack there is my favourite EKA swingblade which i also use in the larder. In my stalking kit bag, in which i carry first aid kit, protective gloves, plastic bags etc. there is a Frost Clipper and an old Gerber, just in case!

This is mine...........picked it up last year for the princely sum of $25 US. Carbon steel, takes a razor edge & is solid enough to deal with practically everything you could throw at it

I've a huktafors stainless job which cost of all £6 and takes small deer from field to larder no problems.

I use an orange handled Mora in a leather sheath which I keep on a skinny webbing belt so I can just clip it on when I get to my permission. I like a brightly handled knife so you can at least find it again when you put it down. Why on earth would you want a camo knife, Making it easier to loose such a vital bit of kit?

Alongside the Mora I have an Openel number 8 which my dad gave me when I was about 12, it still holds a wicked edge and between the two you can do most things, then in the car/bag I have a leatherman and a small saw.

My YDS knife is proving very popular, made by stuart mitchell designed by me.
batch 2 going into production end of this month.
Stainless and I find easy to sharpen when it needs a brighten on a steel. Dishwsher proof too.

a few strokes on a good steel and it's like a razor again.View attachment 51008

I usually always have a small folder & a fixed blade in my hunting pack. The larger fixed blades are usually an original Russell belt knife or a Svord utility with carbon steel. I like both equally & they are easily replaceable. The small folders are usually stainless but from a known brand like cold steel, Buck, etc.

I also carry a small flat diamond sharpener which gets used.

I only carry my custom knife - designed by me with the advice of Taff, made by Emberleaf Knives and now in mass production: Not so new Knife - Follow up

- good steel so stays sharp even after cutting through bone
- narrow yet strong blade for anal cavity and delicate work, also perfect for bleeding
- stabilised handle so 100% resistant to dirt etc (also have a kydex sheath now)

bight plastic handle, so its hygienic and wont get lost. Wooden handles will retain germs etc (some wont worry but if your selling meat may as well be safe than sorry)... frankly another reason to do your DSC1.

+1 watch out the dsc1 police

 

[Deeredriver]

Personally I always carry my SOG Field pup in a leather sheaf.
It's one of the early pre Chinese types with the better quality steel.
It holds an excellent edge, fits my hand well and is well balanced.
I like the leather wrap around sheaf although I rarely carry it in the belt, it's either in my jacket or in a pack.
It's been used to dress and skin every thing from Munties to Kudu.

Really and where did this gem of knowledge come from, like all surfaces, if left dirty they will all carry germs, reminds me of the domestos advert, kills 99% of all known germs, what you really need to worry about is the other 1%. Anyway you want to worry about bacteria .
