If knife makers want to impress me they will offer a knife that's a folder with one blade (I prefer a clip point) without serrations, and a good bone saw. Both blades will be no longer than 4.5 inches, and the knife blade will lock. It can have options for different grades of handles for those who want things a little more fancy but overall it's a solid tool, made completely in America. I would buy that today.
There is not a knife there that I feel compares to the Havalon Knifes with extra blades. If you want a skinning knife with blades that are as sharp than get a Havalon, they are fantastic. Many styles to choose from.
Are they serious about this list? I wouldn't own many of these knives, much less buy them.I would have much more faith in a knife that carries another name than Bear's. I think of Bear, I think of someone who is all show and showed people how to die many different ways in the wilderness... doesn't exactly inspire confidence in a product with their name on it, even if it was the best looking knife in the list.
I am a little surprised Diamond Blade knives are not on the list. By far the toughest blade on the market.
Just like movies, tv shows, etc., there are no new ideas out there. Top to bottom, these are some of the ugliest knives around. I'll just carry my Bear & Sons bone handle gut hook, and be happy to be seen with it!
It won't Robert. It's just that if you keep your $50 knife nice for 10 years its going to be worth zip most likely. A $400 knife will most likely be worth more that you paid for it. That is, if you buy the right $400 knife.
My 35 year old buck folding hunter works just fine thanks
Highly surprised SOG didn't have anything new on the line.
The LL Bean knives looked okay. The rest didn't do much for me unfortunately.
I guess I can't understand why a $400 or more knife will field dress a deer any better then a$50 knife.
