Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades New Hunter starter knife

For an inexpensive truck/pack/loaner knife, I like the Cold Steel Pendleton Lite Hunter and Canadian Belt Knife styles that can be bought for around $17 on eBay 24/7/365.

Either of those knives with the blades touched up and a Sagan Saw is all a person needs to field dress a deer. It isn't a lifetime knife or a knife that will ever be an heirloom, but it is quite serviceable.

I'm not a fan of Moras, particularly those with a carbon steel blade, as the grind makes for a thin/fragile edge and the carbon steel Moras seem to rust almost instantly.
