what knife for the hunt?

[pan60]

what knife do you guys like to carry when you go on your hunts?
i am a big fan of a good pocket knife.
small easy to carry great for gutting and skinning or what ever i needa knife for.
at the moment i have been hung up on muskrat patterns.

I usually have a SAK in my pocket when hunting, but I also wear my BPS Adventurer in it's sheath on my belt.

Benchmade Griptilian pocket knife has been my go to for the last few years-takes a good edge and holds up well.

Something sharp for sure. I like the Opinel knives, but I have a Titan Damascus skinning knife that has served me well on small sized game to deer. I've also used a cheap $20 Chinese folding pocket knife for the same animals. The knives just need to have a sharp edge for me. If not it can be hell on my hands when working to skin out and quarter deer or smaller medium-sized animals.

Below is my Titan Damascus skinning knife skinning a squirrel. I realized that I don't really have photos of my knives outside of using them to gut, skin, or quarter something.

I have several Moras and they're great knives. We even use them daily in the kitchen.

I tried to edit a photo into my post the day that I posted it and was unable to. It would not upload. For some reason it got stuck on 100%.

Sorry about that. When I get back from the show I'll look into it and see if we can create instructions for posting photos - if that would be of help.

@hameditor I had not had any issue posting photos prior to that issue. I tried to add it while editing my post.

Edit: I was able to edit it in just now.

I generally carry one of my own designs/ builds for hunting. For everyday carry that works its way into the field though I will carry a spyderco lockback delica I think it is.

This is a post I made to my other channel that shows a bit more detail on the knives and gear that I carry. I realize everyone's needs are different but this works for me.

Got this from cabelas years ago has been a good knife like having the saw when bow hunting

 

[A_Shomer]

Everyday I carry a Morakniv of some sort mostly their 2.2" blade Eldris or a 4.1" blade craft line basic 511. Good quality at a reasonably low $20 price point so it's no big deal if you lose or have to ditch one.

Very nice! I love A2, used it for years before switching to more modern steels. A2 is a solid performer.
