Elk Hunting Knife

[N2TRKYS]

I love my Outdoor Edge replaceable blade knife. I use one blade per elk or deer. Very handy little knife. I also keep a fixed blade Benchmade and/or Buck knife in my pack.

Keep the outdoor edge and use it for a dirty blade and a new one for joints.

Add in a fixed blade that is light from cruwear, s90v, magnacut, maxamet, etc. and you will have a two knife system for anything. You can touch up the outdoor edge blades on the spine of the fixed bade knife.

Don't buy a sub par steel like O1, 52100, etc. just because some fancy company is selling them. The designer "custom" market for knives is a huge pot of fool's gold overcharging and underdelivering.

This would be my first choice for $80

The second best thing would be to have @feanor or @Wilderness Spirit make you up a blade just how you want it.

The third best thing would be one of these https://ridgebelts.com/products/ultralight-smoke-grey-ridge-blade

The fourth best thing is I have a finished Ridge knife and some Mules if you are not handy. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads...fe-a-bunch-maxamet-k390-s90v-rex45-76.288323/
