Let’s see them hunting knives

[Stykbow]

Just as the title says, let’s see the knife that always makes the trip hunting with you. If you have one for big game and another for small game let’s see them both. Here’s mine. It’s always with me if I’m hunting or just stomping around the woods. Wish I had a better pic handy, but that’s how it goes.

[Phil Coffins]

Hunting, fishing, eating, limb cutting, patch knife, wood splitting, and most everything else. Steel from a locomotive journal box and a hickory handle. Holds an edge better then any knife I’ve ever owned. And a couple of others.

Here’s my “new” hunting knife that I plowed up in the garden this spring. I cleaned it up and made new handles for it. Even with all the pitting, it takes and holds a razor sharp edge. Don’t know what brand or how old it is.

My amateurish attempt at a sheath. It carries well. I like it.

And here’s a barn knife I made from a repurposed pocket knife blade for cutting hay bale strings.

Here are my hand made ones.

Maple scales, bison leather ferrule with hemp cord wrap. Made by Canadian bladesmith Stephen Osborne. Gone on every outing with me since 2008.

Now that is just cool. Digging up an old rusty knife and making it nice and useful again. I really respect that...

Thank you. I’m only an amateur (and I mean amateur) when it comes to things like that, however I do enjoy making useable muzzleloader accouterments. They may not look the best but it’s rewarding to be able to use something hand made or repurposed.

My grandfather made this from the blade of a silage chopper somewhere in the 1930's-40's. Blade is 5 1/4". The handle is heavy leather lacing wound and then capped with a washer soldered in place. Bottom sheath is the original he made. As it deteriorated I wanted to leave it as is but no way did I trust it on my belt - so I carried it sheathed in my pack. A friend made the replacement sheath at my request.

I was 16 (a long time ago) when my Grandpa gave it to me - and then took it back five minutes later saying he'd changed his mind and that I had to buy it. In shock I asked how much, he then smiled and said 'ten cents'. He then related the old story that if you gifted someone a knife you could end up getting cut by it.

This knife has cut every deer I ever shot, plus an Alaskan caribou and a Colorado elk. Good chance it'll be with me in my pine box.

My cousin and I were in a drop camp north of both Kotzebue Alaska and the Arctic Circle. To get away from the wind (tiny number of trees there - most limbs only grow downwind - not kidding) we pitched the tent where the ground was maybe two feet lower than surrounding area and there were some low bushes. (Also known as clotheslines.) Previous tenters had liked the spot too - and had accidentally left both sides of a caribou jaw behind. We took them home to make mementos of the trip. Bought the blades and parts from TOTW and a friend assembled them and made the sheaths. Blade is 7 1/4" Solingen steel. Yes, they're big and ostentatious - but in this case that's what we were going for. My cousin leaves his on his coffee table as a conversation piece.

All of my traditional muzzle loader deer have been percussion - I'm saving this knife until I get my first flintlock deer.

bldtrailer, I've wanted to make one of those broadhead knives but was concerned that the edge wouldn't last long enough. I'm sure some are better than others would you recommend any particular brand? I think I have some old TreeSharks laying around.

 

[bldtrailer]

Just get a high carbon broad head ( like Zwickey you can find singles at archery swap meets or flea markets )& mount to an insert
drill out antler and install an arrow insert installing with hot melt glue (that way you can heat and turn to aline the cutting edges)
I made the above to be able to gut a deer with a broad head
( just remove from an arrow ) also makes it replaceable

A couple I made.

Not a hunting knife but very capable patch knife.
