New Hunting Knife

Im just starting to think that the kabar is just gonna be too big to carry as a hunting knife or camping knife and im just gonna scratch all the black off the blade and itll look like shit

 

I'm a big SOG fan which yes are generally tactical knives but a good skinning knife is the field pup if you can find an older aus8 model. The NW ranger is a good all around knife. That being said neither are Bowie knives.

 

theres an AUS8 version at a store near where i live. ive never seen the nw ranger

 

Yea the new field pups use a different steel. The NW ranger is a nice knife itll be my next purchase I bought the seal pup elite first

 

ya it looks like a nice blade

 

Look up nutnfancy on YouTube he does knife reviews

 

seen a few of them. has some good reviews. right now im thinking ill eventually buy a kabar anyways just to add to my collection and use as a camping knife and then buy a more hunting only knife

 

Kabar are great knives just keep some oil handy

 

My go-to working knife is a Buck 105. Good for game or fish.

 

I use this for processing deer, the S30V steel is awesome

ive never owned a gerber knife i have heard they are solid tho

 

esee 4 or 6 and never look back... unconditional lifetime warranty no matter what.

a lot of the kabars are way to thick for practical applications

 

Seems like some of the ones i was looking at throw the "SEAL" stamp on their gear and sell it for a big profit. Ill retract my last post. I have a classic style Buck knife for hunting, and it works well. But i dont know if i trust the blade to never break. The ESEE knives look very solid. Purchase in progress

Note: Altoids tin pouch idea......phenomenal

 

You deff won't regret it. I've got the izula, esee 3 and esee 6. The fit, finish, feel, ergonomics are absolutely amazing. I literally said "wow" when I got my first one.

I hate this... people that don't know anything about knives eat it up though

 

esse are awesome for sure i want to pick up a couple in the future myself. post up some pics brotha knife porn for the campers out there lolz

 

Hans.... you should send one of those knives this way

kthxbye

 

s30v is awesome but a complete pain in the ass to sharpen in the field especially if the blade has a funky recurve my zt knives are great but a little difficult to get razor sharp

 

Forgot to mention if you want the best knife for under like $75 go with a mora triflex($25) that is if you can find one in stock some place

Hair popping sharp, and because it's a scandi grind a tard could sharpen it perfectly

 

well played sir i nnn eed one of those lol

 

teh esee pornz as requested




Also if you do order an esee knife make sure you are aware what version you are ordering, ie combo blade, clip point, plain blade(the only choice imo), the sheath color, with molle back or w/o
