Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Favorite Hunting Knife

I’ve had an old Marble Arms with a carbon steel blade and a stacked leather grip that I’ve been using for years now. Holds and keeps an edge great and and sharpens beautifully when you need to. No idea what model it is but it’s my steady.

Same one I gut, cut, and carve cheesecake with.

When you find something that just works, you just keep on working it.

I have two current fav's, one is a cold steel pendalton lite hunter and the other is a plain jane mora. Both knives cost about 20 bucks a piece. Nothing special, but they work well for me!

...... along with your laptops, TV, cell phones and about 1/2 the consumer goods in your house?

I have some Randalls that I swap around depending on how I feel that day and mix in a Buck Titanium now and then.

A little Tyler May droppoint 3 finger knife for me.
Then my Kinfolks A380 knife I inherited. It looks big and clumsy until you use it. My brother used it and found one on Ebay for himself.

Knife regret.. I inherited an older USA made oldtimer sharp finger and sold it before I used it beyond skinning. I only need so manu knoves and regret selling that old USA made knife.

Isn't that more or less a version of the old
Marbles Woodcraft?

That’s a James Sponaugle knife. I’ve handled a few of his knives and they are top tier in every way.


James Sponaugle Knives

They do look nice.

How’s the blade hold up? Whole elk possible with one sharpening?

This one is in Magnacut. I used it on a bunch of animals this year and it is still shaving sharp. It is a Loveless semi skinner that I asked him to do with a 3 1/4” blade.

We will talk Chuck. I'd like to order one for my oldest boy.

Got me a victorinox boning knife the other day. Got an old case that is getting a little ragged, so I decided to grab this victorinox. 6 inch curved, semi flex, and thin. Sucker is a razor. I may buy another one for the day pack. Impressed with it.

Benchmade Saddle Mountain Hunter is almost always in my hand. It fits my style and holds an edge-S30 steel. Sorry no pic yet.

I do wish it was still made.

Picked up a Spyderco Bill Moran skinner the other day that I'm liking at the moment. I hope to give it some late season use.

I just ordered a MKC knife that costs 64x the cost of my Victorinox Pairing knives...I will report back on how I like it. Is it worth 64x a Victorinox? Not likely, but will it do a better job than one? I'll let you know.

This one:

Them things should come with a fugging handle at that price.....

Oh look it's Scott Neigh the queer activist from Hamilton Ontario!

I hear you. It's very pricey. I will let you know once I recevie it. They sold out within 5 minutes. In fact, almost all of their knives have sold out and almost all are 5 star reviews. Let's see if they are worth it. I should receive mine tomorrow.

You'll like it. They make good stuff. My beef isn't the added weight of having scales, but just feel a good knife is not the place to save the difference in weight between a real handle, and wrapping it in temporary baling twine.......

I am not spending $200 on a knife with no handle except parachute cord.
