What knives do you use for the gralloch?

Nothing fancy, just a Mora Companion Clipper Knife in Orange.

Mora 860 Stainless Clipper Knife Orange

The Companion is one of Morakniv's most popular knives, because, as the name suggests, it is such a reliable companion. It works well both as an introductory knife for the younger generation as well as for more experienced outdoor enthusiasts. It can

A good old mora companion. Worth every bit of £12

Have many knives, but my Stuart Mitchell Ultra lights have been a staple since I got them.

90 and 120 are like scalpels.

Cheap Mora with the orange plasticky handle, its not that I don't appreciate wonderful hand crafted knives but it would seriously spoil my day if I had one and lost it.

Big shout out to @25 Sharps who kindly dropped off the Aliexpress knife I couldn't order but he somehow could and to be candid, for £25 I'm blown away (original thread here). Bluntly, it fits my hand perfectly, is not too broad and appears for £25 delivered to be well made. Very happy

Pictured alongside a Casstrom Mini-Hunter (twice the price) and my well used and abused Mora (half the price), I think it's got a ready place in my stalking kit for those more delicate and especially tunneling jobs.

Thanks again @25 Sharps

Helle Harding and Mora knives are what I used.

One of my custom ones from a maker who used to be from this parish. 3mm thick blade, SCANDI grind, Sandvik 12C27 steel. Razor sharp.

EKA Swingblade. Mora Companion. A few other expensive ones, but that's 80% of my usage.

You’re very welcome, great to put a face to the name.

They are cracking little knives, just a smidge over the £25 mark with the tax but very good value for money.

This is the Stainthorp knife I mentioned, similar raised blade but different profile. Have done munties, roe and fallow with both and they cope well for their size!

Eka swingblade and a wee Mora

I have an original W. Stockdale which is as good as the day it was made but not being used now.
It is for sale in the classifieds.
For day to day use I find a No12 Opinel carbon does the job. Takes a great edge and cheap enough to lose.

I’m no expert but that looks like a full flat grind with a micro bevel not a scandi grind?

 

[purdeydog]

£12 mora.

Victorinox Rabbit.

Don’t worry they don’t rust

SOG SEAL Pup with Ontario RAT as a folder backup. The Pup is a machine, the serrated portion makes short work of a ribcage without damaging the straight edge.

Recognise those knives!

 

[Ratel]

Just my normal snake, or if I've forgotten it a small locking pocket knife. Many years ago always used my lambsfoot pocket knife.
