Opinions wanted on NON SLIP knives

[mtnwrunner]

Okay, so I'm sure most everyone on the site has been knee deep in the guts. I'm curious on what others use for a NON SLIP grip knife. I've got numerous, and I mean numerous quality knives but I am looking for a 3 to 4 inch fixed blade knife. Got any favorites????

This is what I use.
very "grippy" when "wet".

most knives I have used are pretty good. Old antler handles can get slippery though.

A NZ brand Victory knives. not ya normal "hunting" knife. they are what butchers/processors use.

Buck Alpha Hunter with Rosewood handles works well. Don't know why, but it seems to get stickier once blood is on it.

Canvas Micarta is a nice, durable, low slip handle material. I find it's surface gets rougher when wet or damp.

I just posted this in another thread, I am a safety guy at work so when I think of being knee deep in guts I try to think of ways to prevent accidents. These have good slip resistance with most any knife when wet or knee deep in guts as well as provide cut protection which I think is very important in the back country. Compared to a knew knife they are cheap, light and washable. I think they should be included in anyones Big game kill kit!

I really like the Cutco DD drop point,, this link is to the non serrated one, but the form is the same. Very sticky handle and I always chose the orange easier to find when laid on the ground.

the swamp rats with respirine grips are tacky when wet.....

I agree micarta scales have always worked for me

Thanks man!! they are about 30 buks and are way better than any other "branded" knife(like buck or gerber).
keep a good edge,easy to sharpen,last well. and just plain work.

but at the end of the day there is only type of knife worth having and thats a SHARP one.

The two Kershaw knives on the left have a hard rubber handle. I bought these back in the 1980's. The drop point is a "hunter" model 1030TF. Very similar to their current "antelope" knife. The middle knife is a "field and stream" model 1029TF. So many fish both personal and commercial longlining back in college. No issues for several dozen halibut a day keeping my grip on that handle. The material kershaw uses now is more like a soft plastic rather than a hard rubber and not nearly as cold weather friendly.

The right blade a outdoor edge swingblade - unused dang nabbit! - with rubber scales. I don't know how this will do when wet as it seems kind of slippery in the sink when washing.
