Backcountry Knife Situation

[scott_co]

I use both ZT 0393 GLCF Hinderer and Havalon Piranta Bolt in the backcountry.

I like the Outdoor Edge Razorlite for skinning/breaking animals down and pack a Havalon Pianta for caping. Both super light, extremely sharp, and fairly inexpensive.

Havolon Bone crusher:



Buck 660 folding skinner

 

[Spike elk]

Havalon always in my pack and any of several decent folders in my pocket.

My hunting knif is a buck 110. Isn't much I can do to dull it during a 10 day hunt.

If splitting wood is a priority I'd bring a dedicated log splitter or on cut stuff that would fit in stove.

For whitetail I normally have a Cold Steel Master Hunter and a small folding knife. For elk, I take a Havalon or Gerber version and a Cutco serrated knife.

Havalon in the bino harness, and adding my Victorinox 4" utility/multi use blade inside the plastic blade cover this year. The weight on that Victorinox comes in at 3.4 oz including the blade cover. My thought is the havalon can be used for skinning chores and the Vic for meat work/deboning, backstraps, etc.
Third knife is a cheap lightweight folder in my pocket for quick access/daily needs.

I carry 2 lightweight knives in my pack, I usually carry a pocket knife, but sometimes I forget.

No one's carrying the RaptoRazor or the Mano? Their videos are legendary on the interwebs.

Havalon Piranta with a few extra blades and benchmade saddle mountain. Not much I can’t do with those for an extended hunt I’ll carry a small sharpener as well just in case.

I always carry three blades on a hunt. My ever present edc Griptilion and two fixed blades. One on my belt and the other in my pack.

Spyderco Bill Moran drop point, often supplemented with a Spyderco Delica. A lot of great knives out there.

 

[orionsbrother]

I go with a Havalon and an Izula backpack hunting as well.

Deer hunting, where weight is less of an issue, I carry a heavier fixed blade. I received a Benchmade Steep Country as a birthday present. Pleased with it so far, but only a couple of deer broken down with it at this time.

Lt Wright frontier first in my pocket and small norther hunter in my kill kit.

 

[kda082]

Havalon Piranta and Gerber gut hook something or other. I can usually stretch a couple whitetails and bunch of geese per Havalon blade. Impressive friggin knife.

Just bought my sons an Ontario Knife for Christmas. The Rat3. It looks to be a good quality item.

 

[mt100gr.]

Lately I have only been carrying my utility saw/knife folder in my bino pack and a victorinox paring knife for all my meat work. I'm beyond impressed with those $6 vic knives. Plenty of edge for a whole elk job without touch up.

 

[BRTreedogs]

Benchmade bugout pocket.
And I have a couple buck cross locks i carry mostly for sentimental reasons.
I would be a hidden canyon or a steep country if I was picking today.
I'll probably pick up that new tito just to have something in my bino harness should the need arise.

I always have a multi tool, a knife on my hip, and 2 skinners. Usually my outdoor edge and havalon for my skinners.

A multi tool is always a must have in the field and has saved me from many inconveniences.

The knife on my hip is a 5inch blade from Half Face Blades. It’s indestructible and can be used to skin. I always like having a big blade that is easy to access.

I have two skinners because one is none and two is one. Always smart to have an extra skinning knife because it becomes a real pin in arse if you lose your only good knife.

Had a client this year ask why I would carry two knifes. He just couldn’t understand why you would need more than one knife. I laughed when I told him that I had 4 total on me.
