Hunting Knife Buying Guide

When deciding which type and brand of hunting knife to buy, you will want to give some serious thought about what type of hunting you are going to do, how often you will use it and where you will be carrying it. These factors will determine the type of knife, blade design, blade length and more. The next decision you have to make is how much money you want to spend. You don't have to spend a small fortune on a quality hunting knife. If you are short on cash, there are dozens of reliable hunting knives priced well under forty dollars that will perform just as well as a knife costing three or four times that much.

Fixed Blade Knives For Hunting

Buck Vanguard Hunting KnifeFixed blade hunting knives as a rule are much stronger and feature larger blades than folding hunting knives and are carried in a sheath usually worn around ones waist. Fixed blade knives with large blades are an excellent choice for field dressing any type of big game although these type of knives with smaller blades are also excellent for use on small game too and can also be used for a wide variety of cutting chores making them a good knife for camping too.

Folding Hunting Knives

Buck Folding Alpha HunterFolding pocket knives for hunting also come in a wide variety of brands, styles and sizes. These knives are easy to carry and most of them come with a sheath. The advantage over a fixed blade knife is that they can be carried outside the protective sheath and be placed in a pocket. Smaller folding knives are excellent for field dressing small game and larger bladed knives will handle just about all of your big game tasks.

Hunting Knife Blade Types and Handles

The type of blade you select depends on what you are going to use the knife for. For big game hunters, the drop point blade works very well. The clip point blade features a flatter, more utilitarian blade that will work well and will also double as a a general work knife for uses other than hunting. Keep in mind that blades featuring gut hooks are specifically designed for field dressing and cleaning game and usually are not suited for other uses.

The handle on the hunting knife you wish to purchase is another important factor. Often buying decisions are made based on the look and style of the handle. For serious hunting, choose a handle material that provides a no slip grip that will offer the user protection when using the knife in wet situations.
