craigemo Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sorry if this has been done before. I'm on my phone and the search forum facility isn't very good on my mobile. I was wondering what is the best general purpose knife to have in the kitbag for less than thirty quid? It will be used for debreasting birds and gutting rabbits etc. Thanks in advance.

craigemo Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Wow. Bargain. Every xmas my gran gives me a bit of money and I like to get something I can keep. Last year I got a Zippo handwarmer and the year before a leather guitar strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldeneye243 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I just got a Svord kiwi general purpose for £24 from heinnie. But bigger than a Mora. I polished the blade up a bit and quite like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigemo Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I've got a small Buck Hunter knife. I got it for nothing as my dads company was dishing them out as a health and safety reward. Its a bit too small for what I want though but has a good blade and is very sharp.

luckytrigger Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ive used the same Opinel no9 for 9 years. Great knife with an easy to sharpen carbon steel blade, gutted hundreds of rabbits with this over the years and they still cost around a tenner.

0145wirbelwind Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Whitby do some great knifes for about 20 quid. they hold there edge well too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner4hire Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'd get a clipper and smaller opinel, you would probably never need another knife then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeds chimp Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 mora clipper is the one i use the most or if you want to splash out a gerber folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyPopper Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Carbon blade Mora. Razor sharp straight out of the box. Easy to sharpen, easy to clean (knife and sheath). Easy to cut yourself. Absolutely functional - not for you if looks are important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Personally I didnt get on with the Mora and favored the Opinel which is brillient and the tool of choice for bunnys and pigeon, the only down side is the hadles are wood which isnt liked for food standards and isnt dish washer safe ! So take a look at the EKA Swede 8, dish washable, good metal, good grippy handle not to big, strong blade and should keep a good razor edge ! This is the company that makes the EKA swing blade ! and they cost under £30 (£24.95) and a 10 year garentee ! Orange or black handle or wood if you really want ! If you want bigger then theres the 10 at £35 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigemo Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Like I said earlier. I want something that can be kept and treasured as I'm buying it with Grans money. Because of this factor I want something both nice and functional. It has to be nice to look at but also effective. Loads of good suggestions here. Thanks everyone.

Salop Matt Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 As I said EKA Swede 8 or 10 3 different scale choices (wood, orange, black) and nylon or leather pouch. Or if you added a little extra in a cold steel pendleton hunter which is basically a Fallkniven F1 which is a awsome knife by pretty much every account !
