What's your favorite hunting knife?

[clem81]

cutco hunter knife, holds a great edge but u can sharpen it well. made in Olean NY love them clem

 

[HUAINAMACHERO]

Have some of them. Dont ask my why, but I just love to sharpen knives, I have a couple of sharpening stones and love spending some time with my knives getting them real sharp. I have a knife that was a present my grandfather brother gave me, real old thing, but nice and still good enough. I have it stored in my gun case, and dont use it any more, I am keeping it as a souvenir. I use a regular hunting knife with fixed blade, dont remember the brand, but it is light and very sharp.
Looking forward to get this one: Gerber LMF II Survival Knife Coyote Brown 22-01400

I have used a Kershaw folding drop point lockback since the mid-80's, but bought a Outdoor Edge Swingblade over the summer. Used it on an elk and deer this year and love it.

i would say this is my favorite to date.

i'm with you misfire. i make my own also.

you do some really nice work. reminds of of a dozier in some ways. they look very ergonomic. i bet they're good in the hand in just about any grip.

have you tried any of the new CPM D2? you'll love it, better performance, and easier to work with

 

[clem81]

spangler that is a beautiful knife and D-2 is the best steel around. CPM even better
