1 Field knife to take on any hunt

[brca005]

Heavily customized might have been an overstatement. I electro etched the markings, then stripped all the coating and polished it, I changed the edge geometry to favor slicing over stregth and did just a bit of shaping on the existing grips. I think I also ground in some stipling along the back. Also changed the sheath over to one made by Armitus (and then swapped away from their belt attachment to a mollelock).

I didnt do this all at once but over about 12 or so years of use, though if I got a new one tomorrow I would mostly replicate this on day 1.

Very cool, would live to see pics if you get a chance sometime.

The knife nerd in me would also like to see pics when you get a chance, as I've got the same knife but still bone stock like the day I pulled it out of the box.

Pics are not too exciting. I do prefer the blade without the coating, electro etching the logo was a pain in the ass but dosnt look like much. Cant really see the edge change but its a pretty different angle than stock. I really like the sheath. Have one on my 6 as well.

Still pretty sweet, thanks for showing pics!

My one and done is a Benchmade Hidden Canyon Hunter. I like the size and it just works for me.

Has anyone tried a Victorinox/Mercer Lamb Skinner as a field knife?

I have a Victorinox Lamb Skinner, I dont think it'd work well with the curve. Seems like it'd be hard to to cut the pleural lining and around the rear exit. But I don't encounter game bigger than moose, and then only twice. No experience with elk or mule deer. Can take photos next to other knives if youd like

Looks great, thanks!
The edge change is probably pretty significant,
That's the main thing that keeps me from liking it when cutting up animals
