By: Cliff Gray

This comprehensive video presents a hunting guide's decade-long experience using a variety of knives for different tasks from everyday use to specific hunting applications. The guide begins by discussing everyday carry knives, emphasizing on ease of sharpening and lightness for pocket carry as key factors. Examples include the Walmart's Camillus titanium knife and Benchmade knife. However, for workdays involving tasks like taxidermy, a Leatherman in a pocket or on a belt is also recommended. Regarding hunting knives, a Buck 113 in a cross-sheath is favoured for its appropriate size and belly shape, followed by the Yukon belt knife and Kestrel's Ovis Hunter. However, the guide also acknowledges the utility of the controversial Mora knife, for its extreme affordability and good grip, despite the difficulty in field sharpening due to the Scandi grind blade.

Discussing replaceable blade knives, the guide mentioned the versatility of both the Havalon and the Outdoor Edge, despite personal preference for classic fixed blade knives. More specialized knives, like a bird beak knife for face-caping, were introduced for specific tasks, and the guide noted the necessity of small saws for field dressing smaller animals. In conclusion, the guide strongly recommended getting a basic butchering set of knives, highlighting the need for a bony knife and fillet knife for a cleaner product preparation. Overall, the video provides a detailed overview of numerous knives in context of hunting and its related tasks, ensuring the viewer is prepared for any situation.
