what knife

[bnsafe]

what knife do you guys run. I currently have a cutco and love it, but may give it to my son. I want something decent but not break the bank. No folding knives, and I dont think I want replacement blades although may be talked into that. What brands or steel should I be looking at

cutco is the only knife i have every used that can do an entire elk in the field without sharpening. keep it.

I run a bench made steep country, not the new one. I love the orange handle and the blade size/profile. My only complaint was the sheath and I had a new kydex one made, now it’s about perfect for my uses.

The only reason a person would carry anything other than this is to be able to say how cool they are because they carry some cool name knife. There is nothing out there that will do any better than a $2.50 disposable handle and a few 60A blades. Prove me wrong.

Rainier Knives is a great value for what you get. He has a sale every so often that puts the fastpak sub $100. It is worth the look.

Cutco for over 20 years
Before the others were cool.

I've used a few different Bark River knives on deer, elk and moose and all have performed well.

Older tool steels like 1095, O1, A2 and D2 are tough and take and hold an edge well while not being difficult to resharpen. D2's chromium gives it good corrosion resistance as well. 440C is a traditional stainless used by a lot of manufacturers.

Modern super steels like 154, S30V and S35VN keep a sharper edge longer but can be harder to keep sharp and may require more than just a traditional whetstone.

Right now I'm making a shameless copy of a Chris Reeve Nyala put of S35VN

I wasn’t aware cutco made knives other than for the kitchen witch I have a set of. I carry sog knives. I use an escape for work and seal Xr for edc. depending on how old your kid is and how like he is to lose a knive. I might give him a $10 got from the gas station knife to start with.

looking like cutco is the way to go. I have had 2. one broke my fault and I told them that, they sent me a knew one free.

If you're not a cut your toothbrush in half lightweight kinda guy the outdoor edge swingblaze is hard to beat for around $50. I've had mine for almost 10 years and love it.

I carried an EDC lite with an extra blade and the Iron Will K1 knife last year. Probably carry the same this year since I spend a lot more time walking around than actually cutting up elk... but I really like the swingblaze too.

The other day I read a thread where a guy was “running” a truck bed cover. It is truly endless!!

How do like those gut hook blades? Seems like they'd work great but I haven't had a chance to try them.

They work great at unzipping an animal, but I'm thinking of ditching them due to the amount of hair it cuts. Seems it doesn't matter which way you run it it cuts the hair.

I bagged up a cow elk (gutless) with a Little Vickie just to show my buddies it could be done as easily as with an expensive knife
