What is a Hunting Knife?

The hunting knife

By the purest definition, a hunting knife is a blade that is used to hunt wild game. This is the real tool that will kill, even though the game may take a while to die. In addition, a hunting knife will most often be used to clean and eviscerate the animal.
Of course, it depends on what is hunted. Some games, especially big game, may have very hard skin, in which case the blade used to kill the animal will be different from that used to clean and clean the animal.

Choose a hunting knife

You need to think about some main ideas when choosing your blade.
What are you going to hunt?
What is your budget?
How often will you hunt?
Make a list of what you will hunt: deer, boar, bear, moose, and so on ... Make sure to check with your local gamekeeper! Local laws may vary if you are not in survival mode.
For me, I prefer the solid feel and robustness of a fixed blade knife. They are sturdy, classic in appearance, reliable and the easiest to clean and maintain.
A folding knife can be a good choice if you want a lighter and smaller option. They are usually easier to transport.

Care tips for hunting knives

These are some tips and tricks that I have taken over the years.
Keep your hunting knife sharp by periodically sharpening your knife. I use a Gatco sharpening system, but you can even use a whetstone. There is not necessarily a better hunting knife sharpener, but do some research to find what suits you best. Most of the time, it is a budget over time.
Keep your hunting knife clean. This is very important when you go hunting. You will have blood and other biologically "dirty" stuff on the blade. You can use soap and water - be sure to dry the blade well.

Keep your blade in a sheath. You do not want sharp metal to hit other things. In addition, if someone advances and must not play with the blade, the sheath will make him think twice about stripping.
