Show Us Your Hunting Knife

[WH1]

Latest knife off the bench, 9" x 1 1/2" x 1/4" forged 5160 steel, full tang with file work, copper liners, square lanyard hole, mosaic pins in carbon fiber tubing, and a file worked thumb rest. The handle material is antique Westinghouse micarta from the 1940's, love the color. It is being paired with the Colt Anaconda, all for a buddy who spends a lot of time fishing/hunting in Montana. I really like the setup, may do a 7" blade to pair with my Colt Python.

should work well for gutting pachyderms.

No pachy-derms in Montana but there are some serious Yogis and Boo Boos.
He wanted a general camp knife and last ditch bear defender. Hopefully it is only used for the former and never for the latter. Although we know of several instances of grizz attacking hunters with animals down, killed the guide and tore up a hunter pretty badly in one case.

For gutting things I would probably use something like this!

@WH1
You only need a knife that big for a bear attack if you are the slowest runner in the group.

Busse Combat HG55, scrapyard knife company 10-20 and a buck paklite 635. The hawk is a RMJ loggerhead. All the ones I use most often.

@Uxas
Top one has a great blade shape, plenty of body at the nose for skinning but a bit long to control for diner work.
Bottom one useless for skinning, look like it has been beaten to death on a triangle file. Needs a new edge profile before you can use it for boneing again.
Just my opinion.

My favorite hunting knife is my custom Shaun Bruwer loveless dropped hunter with desert ironwork handle and stingray leather sheath.

This looks like a Canada goose. I was using a blade similar to this for the same purpose but found I was leaving too much meat on the bone. I switched to a Havalon that has replaceable blades for this...sharp as a scalpel while still being lightweight and packable. Now I get the entire breast tenderloin!
