Ultra light skeleton hunting knife Recommendations?

[Glendine]

Hi Guys,

Can you please recommend me a ultra light skeleton hunting knife for use on deer.

I have looked at Kestrel but I do not like the scabbards - due to the fact the cannot be belt attached.

Are there any other manufactures you could recommend??.
thanking you in advance for your time.

Regards,
Glendine.

Iron will or Argali both make some awesome ultra light knives.

Check out the PakLite series of knives from Buck Knives. I've got the Buck PakLite Capping knife and I like it a lot. It takes some getting used to, and a wrap of electrical tape or Paracord makes it easier to handle. It's definitely lightweight.

Yep LOVE the paklite caper. Easy to sharpen and holds a great edge. Nice for gutting and skinning. I love the blade shape and strong tip.

Or for something a touch bigger the Benchmade saddle mountain Skinner makes an outstanding hunting do all belt knife. Way lighter than it seems like it should be. Those are my 2 faves.

I have a Buck Packlite caper and a Tyto.
Nothing wrong with the Buck, but prefer the Tyto.

Kestrel ovis hunter is one of the best blade shapes I've ever used. If you like the look of the knife, I'd figure out a way to make the sheath work for you. You can buy bolt on belt clips, molle clips, etc, that bolt thru the grommet holes. I fastened mine on to my pack with kite line.

I just ordered the Argali. Good carbon steel and more of a handle than some of the others.

Victoronox knives are amazingly light, sharp, and easy on the pocketbook! Outdoor edge replacement blade knives are the bomb though!

Haven’t used one of these yet but thinking about ordering. Good blade steel and super light.

Fastpak

Only 2 oz with sheath!

I know not exactly what you're looking for, but pair this handle with a few 60A blades. Cant get much lighter, compact, setup.

You might add the Benchmade Altitude to your list....that thing holds an edge like crazy. I've used it on a hunt recently- incredible and it weighs nothing.

I was using the Benchmade Steep country in S30v steel...a great knife [though I had to buff out the metal in the handle as it snags latex gloves] That knife will hold its edge through a couple animals, here
STEEP COUNTRY

I just picked up one of the Benchmade Altitude's....and honestly I didn't think I would like the skeleton handle....is awesome...my new favorite and the S90V steel is even better.
Plus they both come in Orange- SWEET....
ALTITUDE

Kestrel will work with a Tek Lock.
Check out their Instagram and you can see one on a shoulder strap

Try a Tyto. I believe you’ll like it

I’m look as well am leaning towards the Argali, thinking a little more handle would be better for me, anyone use these?

 

[camelcluch]

The kestrel, bm altitude and rainier fastpak are all good choices.

You could do this with your Kestral for not much faffing about.
