Elk Hunting Knives........

[huntnpack]

Just what is printed on it. Imperial. I've had it 35 years or so. I love the contour. Probably could have a custom made to match with better steel. mtmuley

I have one I inherited from somehwere as well. It’s ridden in various vehicles as a backup for a couple decades. I’ve had some trouble getting it to keep an edge. Maybe I should take a closer look again if it’s served you that well.

I was just gifted a knife from NDGuy by another HT friend.

It's so beautiful,but I am not afraid of getting it a little soiled. That and a Gerber Vital will do just fine.
I broke the tip of my old Uncle Henry I have used 40 years last year.

Nice friend!

Hope @Big Fin is okay with this and I'm not soliciting.... but I have to say I've completely fallen in love with this system. I carry more blades than just the ones that come with it and I sharpen them all at home. Yes, the steel isn't the best and they don't hold their edge forever, but it also makes me feel less bad if I need to sharpen them on a rock, and I've still got more blades. I also usually carry some kind of folder. Right now it's a Kershaw.

I won’t be hunting Elk this year, and with my age, and finances, it’ll most likely just continue to be a dream of mine….
However, I will be deer hunting,and this will be what I carry with me into the woods this season.

My dad gave me this knife in 1966. I have field dressed, at least partially, every big game animal I have ever killed, and a bunch of other people's animals, with this knife. I thought I lost it in the fire, but I found it nine months later in the bottom of the duffel I threw my clothes in when I evacuated. I don't remember when or why I put that knife in there.

I always have at least one other knife in my pack. Right now, I have an Outdoor Edge with extra blades in there.




Obviously not the original sheath.

It’s called a “hamon” you put clay on the steel when heat treating W2 steel it turns out really nice

What stock do you start with (flat, sheet, blanks)? I’ve been thinking about making a couple knives for myself & friends, but don’t want to mess with getting an anvil or space to do all the hand forging again.

I’m not NDGuy, but I can tell you what I do.
I get my steel from Alpha Knife Supply.
I usually get it in 1.5” x 24” x 1/8”.
I don’t have an anvil and I don’t forge. Just grind.
