Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Rick Menefee Knives

I used this one yesterday to field dress a young Buck. What a knife... I still have another week to tag a Doe.

They always look better when shaded in blood.

Yep. Work very well, too..

Gies340 made me some lanyards they are the best I've I have ever saw.
L. Parson holster

That's one of my favorite lanyard styles from Jason. I have a green/black combo on my Menefee semi-skinner.

Thanks gents. Looks awesome on that knife. Rick, your work continues to impress. Love this thread.

What model does Rick call the knife above?

It is a fantastic looking tool. Of course it seems every time Rick posts something up it is perfect looking.

Looking forward to owning my first Menefee.

I hope you buy a wheelbarrow full.

I believe that's a Bose drop point.

Haha...I would like that too but not sure how the wife would take it.

Paddlin' as fast as I can boss!

Which one is your go to.

I'll bet its the WD boner. The rest are just fluff.

One would think that would be easy to answer.
My wife and friends get somewhat perturbed as they almost never get a yes/no or short answer from me.


Between 2003 and the last few months my daily carry was a full auto Boker Top Lock. I've recently misplaced it and have not replaced it.

On any given day I may open mail, carboard boxes, repair electrical wiring, put up meat from a recent hunt, make jerky, vein shrimp and trim cigars. I enjoy having the right tool for the job.

So,when it comes to the knives pictured above.........

IIRC you and I first spoke about two years ago just before deer season. We discussed what I liked in a knife. My orientation was in regards to skinning knives. To date I've only one custom folder.

This was the result of that conversation........



I've used on a number of animals



including turkey





This little swayback gets a good deal of use as I slip in the utility pocket on my right leg when I'm wearing carpenter jeans. Works great for everything from opening boxes to veining shrimp.



The FUBAB is a magical blade.



everything it bites bleeds, including me. One can feel along the side of he blade and get cut. It is truly scary sharp.


I've only owned this one a short while and it made short work of this hoglet. I believe I mentioned to you last week how much I liked how it felt in the hand and how it cut. Beautiful fluff. I like the texture of the ram's horn so much that I'm having a couple more made.






However, with my orientation being on skinning, if there was such thing as a "go to" blade it would have to be this one.

I've used it on well over a dozen critters and have yet to sharpen it. I thought I was a D2 fan. I've found a new love with A2. I find myself reaching for it more and more.

plus the canted/cross-draw sheath is my favorite carry method for a fixed blade knife as long as the sheath is correctly made.

I love this friggin knife:

Me too. Haven't seen too many with lines that can even compare to this one. Only two others could sit next to it IMO...those would be David Winston's Model 60 and Al Alexander's Bartahatchie Skinner with a lot of belly in it. Rick's skinner above is absolutely a beautiful knife.

Wow, I REALLY like that cross draw sheath for that skinner, GW!

Larry Parson makes lots of cross draws know. He is out of Mustang Oklahoma

Thanks for all the good words.

Arlis shot a doe. Battery went dead before I could take any good knife pics.

I'm with you on really liking the A2 Gee'.
