I use this knife for hunting small game and fishing. Very sharp blade and the handle is excellent. The only reason I got this knife in the first place was because it was on sale for 50 percent off due to being used as a display model. I am very happy with this purchase. Cheers!

I have a black one now, got it from a fellow youtuber. I lend it to a friend who used it to process a wild boar and he was also very satisfied with it. If you can get a great deal like you did...well then you really got a good knife for a good price! Use it in good health!

That seems to be one of very few folder that behaves like a "real" knife. I have been looking at the Helle Dokka that is made here in Norway. They seems to be in the same ballpark.

+NorwegianWoods First time that I held this folder in hand I was a bit impressed. I like the feel of it. I do like wooden handles but I preffer micarta for all knives, fixed or folding. Even over G10. This being a hunting knife I think that the rubber handles are best suited for it especially in cold weather. Only downside is the price but if you are only looking at one knife to take along for camping...I think that this is indeed a good option as it is compact and opened it does feel safe in hand while working with it. Not a replacement for a fixed blade but as close to it as possible considering comfort in hand. Thanks for stopping by Denis

A knife with a scandi grind is more appropriate for cutting wood. You have a hunting knife there. The orange color is so you can find it when dropped onto the forest floor when field dressing a carcass.
@SpartanJohns7 ай бұрын
The name kinda gives that away, doesn't it? For working wood I personally prefer full flat ground knives or full height shallow convex knives. But depending on the edge angle you put on the blade...any grind will do just fine. My tests are meant to give the viewer some points of reference. Things which a table top review won't reveal. Hope you liked the video nevertheless.

@SpartanJohns8 жыл бұрын
+TimBlankJ If I can find one at a good price I will definitely get it. I did like the rubber handle...At least in the old weather. I wonder if it will do well when it is hotter outside and your hand sweats. I did get blisters once from a rubber handle because of that. My choice would also be to go for a lower edge angle. 17-20 dps. I do not know how well Vic's behave with a lower edge angle since I was always under the impresion that the blades are a bit ofter compared to other brands. They are easy t sharpen and I never got a chip in a Victorinox knife...
@SalveMonesvol8 жыл бұрын
50 degrees inclusive, in my opinion, is the best angle for a micro bevel. and by micro I mean less than 1/10th of a mm, after that, just use the original factory angle or, if you are as crazy as me, step it. 50 degrees for the tip, then convex grind that gradually becomes 30 degrees after the first 1-1.5mm (where the blade is about 1mm thick). That way you prevent most blade damage while maintaining ease of use.
@SpartanJohns8 жыл бұрын
+SalveMonesvol I find that with Vics I can get all i need from a blade with a 20 dps edge angle... The steel is a bit softer but, honestly, i never worked with one so much in one sitting that it went dull on me. And I have never had a chip in a Victorinox blade. If I was to use this model for procesing game that would probably change since I would most likely hit bone at a certain point. With most steels I found that a 40 degree inclusive edge angle will do a good job. Very few have gotten microchips or rolls...and working with a 20 dps edge angle is easy enough no matter what I cut.. I am currently playing around with smaller edge angles on convex knives...I have recently reduced the edge angle on a paring knife so much that it rolled while cutting bread on a wooden board...that was a bit much i guess...I should have thought about it more but afterwards I put a steep microbevel on it with an aprox 20 dps edge angle and it took no further damage while maintaining the cutting performance....
@SalveMonesvol8 жыл бұрын
SpartanJohns I guess it's a lot of trial and error. I have a hundred cheap knives for experimenting, a couple of medium price folders and kitchen knives, like victorinox spartan, wenger, etc; and 5 higher end "FACONES" plus a 12" blade 5mm thick butcher's knife.What I really lack, are ideal tools because I live in an apartment and can't make too much noise or have a large bench sander: Next month I'm moving to the countryside and hopefully will be able to perform practical tests.

I would like to have this knife, as it is a good looking knife, and is high quality (Victorinox). The steel is 420 HC, the same steel Buck Knives uses for most of their knives. The Pro Hunter is comparable to the Buck 110 in size, intended use, steel, quality, but I can buy a Buck 110 at Walmart for under $30 US. They have been on sale for months. I cannot justify paying twice as much for basically the same knife. The Buck 110 is sharpened at 15 degrees per side, which you could do with the Pro Hunter. When heat treated correctly, 420 HC is a good knife steel. If the price comes down, I will definitely buy a Pro Hunter. I know I would enjoy using it.

According to Victorinox the steel is 440C. Made in Switzerland. Don't know where the China stories come from. Says Swiss Made on the handle, and that is what Victorinox says. Thus more expensive because Swiss labour is well-payed. After one year, I agree about changing the angle, but it is great then for wood. Sturdy AND comfortable. Lot of nice looking Spyderco knives just don't hold up for rough outdoor use, and are painful in the hand for serious endurance. Not as overpriced as seems. I think it may well outlast a Buck 110.

It will be more comfortable and it will be capable of doing more things...any fixed with a thickness of the spine greater than 2 mm will be able to help you out much more than a folder...batoning, prying aso... My friend, the one who asked me to sharpen this folder, has it for camping chores and mostly cooking or maybe sharpening a stick every once in a while. If that is what you need a knife for any knife will do but I feel that this is a good choice since it is a folding knife that is "high visibility" so you won't lose it as easily and very comfortable in hand, so if you have to make your fire with it, it won't hurt your hand. And should you ever really have to depend on this knife, i think it is not a bad choice... Of course a MT will do all those jobs but in all honesty most people shy away from multitools because of their weight...I like my Surge and I take it with me everytime I go out but I do that because I like playing with it not really because I need it...

Hey Denis, top HunterPro Review! Darum mache ich ja auch keine Messer-Reviews mehr-Leute wie du können es halt 1000 mal besser als ich es könnte :o) Zu dem HunterPro schreib ich jetzt nicht viel, außer das ich alles was du so beschrieben hast, bestätigen kann :o) Der mitgelieferten Messertasche traue ich übrigens auch nicht so ganz über den Weg... ;o) Danke für s zeigen und LG Micky

+Blinkenstein1966 Hi Micky. Danke fuer den Compliment. Ich finde das jede Review von jemand der das Messer ein paar Stunden benutzt und das auch sagt eine gute Review ist. Manchmal sieht der eine oder andere Sachen anders und es ist immer gut mehrere Reviews anzuschauen bevor Man ein Messer kauft. Waehre der Preis nicht so hoch..wuerde ich mir eins sofort kaufen. Dieses Messer zu schaerfen und damit zu arbeiten hat schon Spass gemacht LG Denis

Nice review! It seems like the knife is a good worker... By the way nice shaveings as well xD. Actually I don't like the handle but I really like the blade. If there would be some kind of G10 handel it would be like a Spyderco knife. Although I'm not a big fan of backlocks this one makes a pretty solid impression. Question: Have you ever thought of trying a Linder Super Edge Knife? In my opinion it's a really good knife! Keep Going and Good Night! C
@SpartanJohns8 жыл бұрын
+DoDo I like the rubberized feel of the handle. If I had to choose I would take micarta over G10. I just find that micarta feels better in hand and it is a bit lighter. I have not tried the Linder Super Edge Knife. I heard a lot of good things about them but I have also seen more models that are called "Linder Super Edge" Maybe in the near future I will give them a closer look. Thanks Denis

Nice folder. Overpriced in my opinion. Looks a lot like the Gerber Gator. Gerber sells the Gator 154CM folder for $37 on Amazon. I think it is every bit as good as the Pro Hunter for a lot less. And if you really want to go frugal there is a Gator with the Gerber mystery steel for $25 in Amazon. I like the 25 degree edge. For me it works in most instances real well. I tired 20 degree. It is sharper, more like a razor, but I think it dulls, rolls and chips faster. By the way, after sharpening lots of knives, to get a quick real good working edge, I sharpen with a 120 grit stone and then I strop. That is my favorite edge. It feels toothy, but so far it one of the best cutting edges. What do you se to test your sharpness?HA, you'll laugh at what I use. To really test how sharp a blade is, I use none other than toilet paper (unused of course). If your knife cuts through toilet paper, IT IS SHARP.
@SpartanJohns8 жыл бұрын
+mikedifeo I looked at the Gerber Gator here...it is at about the same price as the Hunter Pro. With 154 CM steel. And that would be the way to go. I have only experienced Benchmade's 154CM steel and I have to say that I like that one. My 551 Griptilian has a 20 dps edge angle and it took no damage. 25 dps is definitely sturdier but I also find that unless the grind is thinner than usual you will have to put more force behind each cut. I think that the best sollution would be a 20 dp edge angle with a +5 degree microbevel. It protects the edge from minor damage and does not influence cutting ability that much. A toothy edge can work very well in some cases. People that give me knive to sharpen are not really ones who sharpen themselves so I try to put on finer edges that will last longer. I found that for most these are better. I only keep a few of my knives with toothy edges. And I must admit that they can be fun to work with. Kept my ZT0350 with a 30 dps edge angle and a toothy edge for rougher jobs, cutting dirty plastic bottles and cardboard at the cabin. I liked the way it worked. It gt thru things with relative ease and kept a decent edge. I must admit that I never tried to see how knives cut toilet paper... I check for microchips with printer paper and for my sharpness test I like to see if they can shave. I like my edc folders to shave with ease and the ones I take in the woods I like them to shave as well but they must not really be "razor sharp". If they take off hairs it is good enough for woodworking.

@SpartanJohns5 жыл бұрын
Depends on what purpose you have in mind. A bit too bit for edc but as a working knife it certainly fills the hand and with a reduced edge angle it can do just about anything you imagine it could do. One of the more comfortable folders. But you pay the price for that comfort in size and weight A friend of mine used it for field dressing a wild boar and was very pleased with it

@SpartanJohns Жыл бұрын
On these style of knives of in general? On these style of knives, which were made for hunters, a pocket clip might get in the way of comfort in hand. They do make pocket clips for their multitool knives. some have them built in and some you can purchase and attach yourself. Mostly, I think, it is because they have been doing it this way for so long, it works for their customers, so they find no need to change a thing that works

I like many Victorinox products, but this one is junk. It's a horrible choice for even taking into the woods. It's a Spyderco with cheap steel. Just another silly flip knife out to grab a share of the huge market of people who don't know anything about knives, less about the wilderness, and very little about hunting. It will, unfortunately, probably sell wel because it is a Victorinox, and because so many people don't know how silly flip knives are for almost everything, but it's still junk.
