What Makes a Good Hunting Knife? (And How to Choose One)

[@michaelcervantez3570]

One that has been properly priced for what you get. It sucks when a company overcharges for their product just because it's American made, like benchmade does. For instance, if someone makes a thin knife out of regular carbon steel, skeletonizes it and puts a paracord wrap on it, instead of a handle, AND THEN ASKS ALMOST 200 DOLLARS FOR IT! That's not just crazy, it's insane!

I love the part where you taught me how to choose a good hunting knife

What stone are you using in this video to touch up your knife?

Your best video yet

I will admit that i was on the fence here. I figured i would give them a try and got the Speedgoat. MKC shipped quick and believe it or not, USPS actually got it to me 2 days early and in time for my whitetail hunt. I have some good cutting knives, but i will tell you that the thinness of this blade makes it a laser beam. For the folks that often comment about these being over priced for what they are, or for paracord wrapping, i will says this: dont overthink it. I get it. I know it seems counter intuitive to pay more for less. All i have to say is that performance talks and bs walks. Will i chop on bone with an under 2 ounce .095 blade? No. Will i open a buck like he has a zipper? Yup.

We live in Australia. MKC was recommended by a few of our friends. Do you post to Australia?

We don’t currently at this time, although it’s something we hope to change in the future!

True that you spend most of your time carrying your knife. However when it’s time to use it, it still has to be capable of doing everything that needs to be done efficiently and comfortably, and hopefully without needing to be resharpened. Having the wrong knife can make the job take 2X as long as it should!

[@MontanaKnifeCompany]

Definitely true!!

Anything that's like the marble knife blade.

I wouldn't even start a hunt for any big game with only one knife two and something to touch up the edge a crock or a very fine diamond stone just to straighten the edge with on big trips I have my small diamond sharpening stones

Blackfoot is good for duck or goose?

god bless america 🇺🇸

Buy a commercial boning knife like a victorinox tramontina or Fdick These things are just fashion accessories like all expensive knives - and you definitely never need a knife on your backpack strap hahaha

[@alexsimpson4346]

I’m still watching but jeez it’s be hard for the knife to fall out of the sheath to justify carrying two knives - if it was in the bloody bag to begin with hahah I swear hunters are the biggest consumerist going

😘 P R O M O S M!

[@victorheath2698]

my idea of a "perfect" hunting knife requires a drop point - anyone experienced at field-dressing knows the benefits of that blade profile
