RE: Favorite hunting knife
My Old Timer Schrade is my personal favorite hunting knife.
I got it from my Uncle as a Grad present.
Its the one I charish the most and I use all the time on big game animals.
Now that I feel its my turn to load up the my own kids, as well as nephews and nieces with hunting accesseries,
For some, I've turned to Falkniven a few times with their VG 10 steel and Cabelas Alskan Guide series knives (which are made by Buck) several other times.These ones made from SV30 steel.
These 2knives will stand the test of time on just about anything.
I personally think none of these kids will feel they need anything better with either of these makes and models.
