Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Blade length

This is my field knife. 5” semi-flex Forschner. Have used it for years and lots and lots of critters. Down to about 4.5” now. I use a 6” curved when breaking critters at home in my shop but I like the straight thin blade for bung reaming. I don’t split pelvises. This style is super nice when going gutless and boning out lions and quarters.





I used to have a slightly longer and thicker steel for it but as of last spring that is on a mountain in Idaho next to a bear carcass.
