Hey Guys,
Looking for an opinion on what style blade is best for all around usage? I really like some of these custom knives that some of the guys on here make and am thinking of ordering one but there seems to be such a variety of blades. I am looking for an all around knife for gutting,skinning and possibly if the good lord shines on me caping.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing your responses.
I'm sure some of these guys make great knives.I've never owned any of them however.The best blade I own or have ever handled is my Bob Dozier Yukon Pro Skinner in a Wilderness sheath.
It's not a pry bar but is ground thin and sharp and sharpens easily with a DMT and stays sharp a long time.The sheath is simply a marvel.It's made of kydex for safety and has a unique solid retaining system.I can't even tell I'm wearing it either walking or sitting.
the only 'best knife' is the one you didn't forget to bring hunting so that you don't hafta use a broadhead to field dress yer kill. :D
seriously, i only know enuf about hunting knives to know it should be kept razor sharp and have a curve in the blade to allow for easier skinning/caping ... and that smaller is usually better.
leather sheath and red oak handle i made for my helle 2.5" carbon blade ...
