Knife

[Hubertus]

Just wanted to post a picture of the knive i use since last season.

Its a swedish product from K.J Eriksson ( http://www.kjeriksson.se ) and called Mora 2000. In Germany you can get they very cheap for 8 Euro (~5 Pound) from a big insurance company (Gothaer). The normal price is 20-25 EURO.

Im very happy with the knife and its usefull for every purpose while hunting (removing guts mainly). But its also suitable to kill boar when they are caught from dog(s) on driven day. Hve used it for that too. The length of the blade is 10 cm which is enough for that. The sheath is plastic made and can be washed out.

 

Before i used expensive knives (PUMA) they are nicer indeed but they are now so expensive that it ruins you if you loose them (mine costs now 200 EURO!!!).

Hubertus... Where in Germany are you.?

 

The reason I ask is that my sister lives in Padderborn and She has invited me and my family over in the summer for a 2 week holiday.

 

Do you know the area at all and if there is sufficient to keep my three children entertained for a couple of weeks ??.

 

Thanks.

 

Mike.

Mike its not very far away from me. Round about 80km. Between Paderborn and where i live is a really superb shooting cinema. We should meet there in summer

 

There is also a lot of wood in that area. So really nice to walk. But also a lot of nice places (Höxter, Warburg, the river Weser, the big forest solling) there is plenty to visit and really nice area.

[Hubertus]

Aled its not nice but usefull. Nice is the Jagdnicker from Puma but not that plastik rubbish

 

What is Khurkri knife? Never heard of that.

 

What knifes do you use to butcher the venison/game?

the best knive ive ever had is infact a very cheap whitby, knife with a gut hook, it stays sharp for ages, has a nice piece of metal for the blade, is a good size, and is all metal so it can be sterolised. only criticism is the shieth has no way to keep the knife in securely, so it has to stay in a pocket and cant go on the belt, but for £12 i'm not complaining, cant see me ever needing a replacment

[vim]

That aint a knife

This is a f**ping Knife

[millo2]

looks like a raindrop damascus blade to me, mmmmmmmm very nice.

 

Bet you don't carry it in the field though, I'd be gutted to lose it at the sort of price they cost,

[vim]

Here`s a picture of the other side of the knife.

Presentation Grade Dessert Ironwood handle, mosiac pins with a Stainless Damascus acid etched blade. Real Bad

[vim]

But this is the work horse below a Fibrous Handle Victrinox 6inch sticking/boning knife. This is the knife i need a sheath for. I tell thee if i ever have that in my coat on a friday night and i fall over its curtains.

Plus i wouldnt mind if i lost this at just over £6. Used for skinning/ Boning and buttering me toast

I do hope i havent offended anyone Cranny

[Aled_cky]

not bad love the damascus one vim

http://www.thekhukurihouse.com/Content/Catalog/ that is a Khukuri Knife website

i use collie knives etc sometimes to take the legs or heads off rabbits while skinning.

This is mine:

 

 

Good for buttering and cutting toast

[vim]

Good for icing cakes too millo Even a spot of glazing you could do with that and make a proper putty job

[Vermin Dropper]

oops

[Vermin Dropper]

This is what I carry in the field for general cutting, sticking, gutting etc,

it a Smith and Wesson Bullseye, and razor sharp too, you could shave a gnats sack with it,

[vim]

******** i mean Bullshy It still looks unused Vermin Pooper..

Just out of curiosity what and how would you stick with that here knife

[Vermin Dropper]

I guess you mean something diferent by "sticking" Quim, I just mean general use, and it looks like that cos I look after it, although it is only a few months old.

 

This is the best bunny gutting knife I use:-.....

[vim]

That looks nice and hygenic Vermin Pooper with the cammo tape around handle

Good tool never the less and superb with the hook blade in but still a little messy when you catch those brown intestine`s

[Vermin Dropper]

I thought you would like the tape,

 

thats one for all you camo freaks out there,

 

as for a sheath for your knife.... a mate of mine uses a piece of garden hose on the blade of his filleting knife, no good for carrying on his belt etc but stops him slashing his fishing bag, or taking a finger off when he reaches into it.

[Fisherman Mike]

If you want to see some proper knifes look at this siteHunting Knifes

 

Hope you have a good overdraft facility if you want one.

 

I have a Titan folder about 15 years old. God only knows what its worth now.

@Milo:

 

that would be a good knife for a white hunter in or out of africa

All you need in the bush.

@aled:

i looked on that site but i found only these cucumber knives

They appeared for me not very useful for hunting.

 

@vim:

i have a very similar knive from ****. Its the same shape of blade isnt it? But as i said before i use them only for butchering venison. I doesn't take it to the field for this reasons: doesnt have a sheath, the blade of these butcher knife is not very hard (~53 HRC) so they get quick blunt if you use them hard (red, boar) but they are easy to resharpen. Have a whole collection of these butcher knives (next picture).
