Hunting Knives

By: Marcus Peterson

A variety of hunting knives are now available, with each of the leading brand makers claiming their product to be sharper, durable and assuring lifetime guarantee. The selection of the knife depends on the type of animal to hunt, whether big or small, and the mode of hunting opted, whether for meat or trophy.

Hunting knives are often made with blast-finished stainless steel, fixed or replaceable blade constructed to last a lifetime. There are two fundamental knife styles: folding and fixed blade. Fixed blades are comparatively stronger and immovable, permanently fixed in the centre. They are provided with nylon sheaths for safe carrying. Special hunter revolver knives have multiple uses. These contain more than one blade, swapped to perform multiple functions like fishing, hunting, skinning etc. Easy to carry folding knife uses spin and lock mechanism allowing safe closing and this can be carried in your pocket.

Based on the blade designs, knives are classified into drop point, clip point and skinning knives. The thick-bodied curved blade of drop point knives allows quick skinning without damaging the meat, breaking and removing hard tissues, bones etc. Clip point knife is an excellent choice for infrequent hunters as the specified pointing blade enables general functions as well. Skinning knives are designed with spanning blades that help in skinning large animals.

Manufacturers have made gut-hook knives with a hook on the main surface ensuring easy cut of the abdomen. One demerit of such a knife is that the hook requires frequent sharpening. This disadvantage is overcome by the introduction of a separate hooked blade along with the hunting blades. This blade is replaceable and needn't be sharpened occasionally.

Beautiful and appealing knife handles made of stainless steel, aluminum leather, wood, and even deer horn and bone are available. Handles are provided with finger grooves for easy grip and lanyard opening. In case of folding knives, handles have thump button and frame lock.

Sharpening frequently is necessary to maintain a good edge for your knife. Electric-powered as well as stone sharpening systems are available. Knife cleaners and rust removals assure excellent care and protection.
