Lets talk about knives

[SilentButDeadly]

I use a 6 dollar (got a 3 pack at Costco for 15 dollars) utility knife w/ replaceable razor blades, you can even order a hook blade now to gut game.

My buddy had one of those on his elk hunt. It worked slick for taking off the hide and made it easy for swapping out blades when one got dull. Wasn't the best for de-boning the meat, but for the basic task of field dressing and quartering it worked well. Those hook blades would probably make it better...

 

I use a Case Mako folding lock blade knife I got when I was 9 or 10. It has worked well for me and can get through 1-1.5 deer before getting dull...

Brandon was that the bighorn sheep scale like i sold to Houston. Those two knoves have been my favorite one i have sold so far.

 

It sure was. Everytime I break it out I get a compliment on how nice it is. Thanks again on the deal you gave me!

i can't think of a do it all knife for elk. i carry a yellow handled camillus called a yellowjacket that has 2 wide, locking 4" blades. on is a spey point, one is between a clip and drop point. also carry a case sharpfinger, a wyoming knife to unzip em with, a wyoming saw and a small flat steel. i think it is a case. had it for years. this is in my pack. back in camp i have an ammo can full of knives that are all sharp, before the hunt. there are several carbon steel blades cases, my favorite because they are easy to sharpen and stay sharp. several bucks in different shapes. an old navy kabar with a 6 inch blade. (a little shorter than the marine and army version) a green river skinner. they cost about 8 bucks, are easy to sharpen and peel hide like crazy. a couple knives i made out of railroad spikes. one made from a saw blade that you can get so sharp that it is almost useless. cuts through everything. i can't believe how sharp and hard that blade is. a file will just skip across it. have to sharpen it with a belt sander. main thing is to never cut on the hair of an elk. they are so dirty they destroy the edge in short order. i really like the sharpfingers for a lot of stuff, especially around the antlers.
