Knives of Alaska - Initial Impressions

[@burnsholt3079]

I have several of these knives in both D2 and SV30 steel and they are great. Recently they have come out with the Classic Hunter in MagnaCut steel and it is making their good knives even "Gooder". They are a lot more knfe for the money than many others.

The ulu is known as a woman's knife. They use it to process mammals from their habitat (oftentimes whales and seals) and in food preparation. ... Jaeger is a German word, meaning hunter. In the Avian world there are 3 species of Jaegers (also called Skuas). ... The Parasitic Jaeger can be seen off the Atlantic Coast. I've seen them just north of Cape May and in Delaware Bay near the mouth, between Cape May and Cape Henlopen. ... The Long-tailed Jeager can be seen from the Denaly Hwy, between Paxson and Cantwell, along the eastern Alaska Range. They nest on tundra, above the treeline. ... I have no experience with Pomarine Jaegers. ... I hunted moose, bison, caribou and Dall Sheep in Interior Alaska, north of the eastern Alaska Range. I never used a Knives of Alaska knife on those hunts, but I think that beefy cleaver would be perfect for moose and bison. ... I just ordered a KOA Muskrat in S-30V with orange SureGrip scales. I like the steel and the Suregrip handle will give a sure grip when bloody and will make it easy to find on the tundra. The small, close to ground tundra plants are mostly deciduous. The leaves turn reddish in the Fall on many of them. ... Thank you for the great, intelligent, comprehensive, thoughtful look at those 6 KOA knives. ... I hope you'll do a thorough review of that Muskrat I just paid for. ... Incidentally, I had a career, working for Alaska State Forestry in wildland fire suppression. I supervised many, many 16 person handcrews, composed of men from the First Nations - Athabaskan Indian and all the Eskimo Tribes, except Aleut. ... In remote wilderness, everyone prepares their own meals on a campfire. I never saw anyone with an ulu. My hunch is that the native women use them on marine mammals. ... You have a new subsciber. ...

Use the proper tool for carving, it's not designed for carving wood.
