I'm in the market for a new knife. - The Firearms Forum

bmpeele · 04-03-2010, 02:50 PM

I'm searching for a new knife to use for hunting/fishing/hiking. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to any web sites, brand names, or certain knives that would be good. I would prefer it to be a fixed blade, not too big or too small. Between $25 and $80. Serrated or not dosn't matter. Any suggestions from anyone?

I just bought a Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter for around $50 and could not be happier with it. It has a nice and thick 3 1/2 inch hollow ground fixed blade. It comes with a Kraton grip molded around the tang.

I liked mine so well it rotates as my every day carry knife with my SOG Aegis folder.

The above link will take you to The Knife Connection where I got mine. It has all the info listed on the knife. Oh yea, they ship for free and if you are ever so lucky enough they give away every 30th order that comes through the store up to $100.

I'm looking for something with a bit bogger of a blade than that. But I'll certain consider it, it looks to be very high qaulity from what the site said.

Check the bargain basement for some values...

I like the Big Rock knife, from Gerber, for a do it all type knife. It comes with, or with out the serated edge. The steel is thick and will take a beating. And the cost is right.

I think I have come to a decision. Thank you everybody for your help. I'm going the Big Rock knife from Gerber. I had a Gerber folding knife with 3 changable blades and was ver please with it. I just wished I hadn't dropped it while fishing.

jacksonco · 04-04-2010, 05:14 PM

Cool, I'll have to check them out too. I am always nosing around on the knife sites.

I dont think you can go wrong with Gerber. Ive been useing a Gerber Gator the last couple of years and one of the best (hunting) knives Ive used in a while for the price.

Can you say lanyard? Good luck with your new knife.

bmpeele · 04-19-2010, 08:30 PM

So everytime we go to order the knife something goes wrong. We tried ordering it online and the website wouldn't load, we tried calling to try and order that way and could never get a hold of anyone. So I think I will check some local pawnshops and see what they have around. The place that we get our dog food from has a nice one for $150. It was handmade by the gunsmith that works there.

bmpeele · 04-24-2010, 05:29 PM

I was at one of the pawn shops today and they had a Cutco knife in there. It looked nice but they had it priced at $150.00. Now is that to much, is that a good deal, is it about right?

tim peterson · 04-24-2010, 08:30 PM

Yes, I think thats to much!! No hunting knife I have ever seen in there catalog was priced that high. The model I got is the Hunting knife in a gift box. They also carey a drop point and a clip point. Same great blades different handles You can check them out at Cutco.com, go to Sporting knives. Or you can phone 1 800 633 8325. I saw these knives on Ebay as well you might get a better idea on prices from them. Have fun!!!

bmpeele · 04-24-2010, 10:04 PM

I bought a Kershaw Leek 1660 on Amazon for $37 with no shipping. It's an excellent knife at I felt a decent price.
