Favorite hunting knives

[Sld1959]

Anyone have favorite hunting knives? These are my favorite since the 80s. The two folders are dual locking blades and the Marbles I watched being made on the factory floor. All have spent many hours with me, I think the large trapper probably the most.

These are my favorite blind and shelter builders.

I have always been a fan of the Puma brand hunting knives. The knives made in Germany , not the outsourced knives.

I had a Puma White hunter made in 1972 ---> https://pumaknifecompanyusa.com/Pum...n-Made-Hunting-Knife-with-Leather-Sheath.aspx

I now have several Puma knives , Bowie , folding 230270 , folding Puma Prince , and a small folder called a Bantam.

Puma makes nice knives. I had one until my nephew needed a knife for his first hunting trip, now he has it. He loves it. The other nephew got My Case Hammerhead.

I wouldn't per say any of my blades are used for hunting, but I do carry a blade of 1 type or another. I use knives or pliers at least once a day.

I like the design. Looks good!

I'm partial to Scandinavian knives (from all three countries), although I also like some AG Russell designs, & I like the Cold Steel SRK-C.

And Swedish axes for various sizes that can come in handle when hunting season comes.

I like my Chris Reeves Ubajane or Nyala.

I do have some specific "hunting" knives for caping & skinning, but the majority of my knives are multi-purpose.

Between buying and making knives I have too darn many so I tend to have them for different tasks just so I can use more of them.

I have some nice homemade knives a great friend made for me to use hunting- skinning. Sharp as heck and well made personal touches.

Thier leather work is superb, mine at best can be called serviceable. And that's being generous...

This is what I use in the field. S30V steel. Cabela's/Buck Personal Butcher Shop done by Paul Bos.

My son and I both like knives a lot, he gave this to me for Father's Day. It's a very nice knife. Very sharp right out of the box. It's a Buck #119 Special.

Hard to beat the classics

Definitely true. My first knife was a Buck folding knife my dad bought for me when I was five years old, 43 years ago. I still have it and it still keeps an edge very well. I lost the sheath a long time ago but the knife is still in very good condition. I keep it in my gun safe now, I definitely want to pass it on down once I shuffle on off....lol

2005 Benchmade prototype and a hammer forged butcher knife are my favorite. And my EDC pocket knife is a S&W ExtremeOps. Which was gifted to me from my Squad Leader. The blade has my rank, name, unit, and unit motto on it. I miss working with those guys.

Ny dad passing suddenly has made me think about passing on stuff while I can to who I want to give it too.

I just spent a day going thru my knife duffle and keeping what I want to keep and use. The rest, some 70 odd pieces I am passing to my nephews and daughters husband, and thier kids. These include cheap impulse buys, sone really nice pieces, a lot I have made, and important things like my dad's navy issue folder, his first hunting knife, my very first hunting knife. The first knife I bought myself and some other.

Makes a few less things I need to worry about, until that day.. stole a fav line from way of the gun. Lol

I'm surprised I've been able to keep up with that old Buck lock blade all these years. I lost it a few times in my 20's during moves, etc but it always seemed to turn up, so I finally put it up to make sure it didn't walk off again.
