What's a good hunting-all purpose knife?
I need a knife that can gut fish, cut rope and do a few basic things when i go camping. Link to a good one online?
I have several good knives, and have found many different ones to be better suited for different purposes. However, one that I go back to regularly is my Mora.
This is an inexpensive knife with a full tang (blade goes into the handle) fixed blade. They are very durable, hold an edge quite well, and have the size and manuverability to do most of the tasks I call on them to do. It is my primary field knife for camping (it can be used to split small pieces of wood for fires), fishing (gutting is no problem, fileting takes a bit of practice because it is not flexible), and hunting (regularly used for field dressing, has been used to butcher a deer, though not ideal).
I use the carbon steel blade because it is a bit harder and holds an edge better, but if you are using it in wet conditions or salt water, they have some available in stainless.
They ain't pretty, but for the money it is a very difficult knife to beat. I have knives from Buck, Gerber, Spyderco, and Benchmade, all of which take a back seat to my Mora in the field. Not that they wouldn't do the job, but the $10-$12 knife cuts through anything, is easy to resharpen, easy to clean, stronger than a folding knife, feels good in the hand, and is no problem to replace when necessary (which I haven't done yet).
You will undoubtedly get recommendations for some of the more expensive brands, and they are all VERY nice knives. But when I think about the jobs I ask a knife to do in the field, I don't want my $100+ investment to be subjected to such treatment.
If you decide to go with a different knife, you owe it to yourself to try a Mora as well. It's not a major investment, but will become a trusted tool in your pack. Go with the Eriksson version over Frosts - it's a bit more rigid. Try the most popular one - style #1.
Enjoy!
