Why Any Outdoorsman Can Appreciate Handmade Hunting Knives

There is something about a hunting knife that just feels right in your hand. Whether you are a hunter, a bushcrafter, or you just enjoy the outdoors, having a hunting knife with you is always a good idea. This is because these knives are designed to perform tough jobs in the field, making them a perfect choice for a variety of different applications. If you are looking for a reliable knife to add to your collection, then handmade hunting knives might be the perfect choice.

When it comes to choosing the right handmade hunting knives for you, there are a few factors to consider. Here at The Knife Collection, we have curated a huge selection of handmade knives from makers that we love and trust. These knives have all been crafted with incredible attention to detail to ensure that every blade is strong enough to last for years while also being ready to use right out of the box.

One of the most important things about any knife is its edge and there are countless factors that go into determining the quality of a blade's edge. Knife makers specialize in knowing which steel varieties to use with their knives along with taking a hands-on approach to finishing the blade's edge. This produces knives that have excellent edge retention so hunters can spend more time working and less time having to maintain their knives.

In addition to being made with high quality materials, well made knives are also designed to perform. Most handmade hunting knives share a few characteristics in common. The size of the blade may differ based on the type of game that hunters need to clean in the field, but all of these knives need to be able to quickly and easily process game. In the case of hunting knives, this means that they need a nice sharp point and an ample slicing belly. This will make it easy to process, skin, and break down game in the field.

These traits not only make these knives the perfect tool for any hunt, but they also come in handy around the campsite. Hunting knives, particularly those designed to handle large game animals, are perfect tools to have on hand while camping. As long as you have a full tang, fixed blade knife with a blade that is 3.5" or larger, your knife can be used to handle tough campsite jobs like batoning firewood. The slicing belly of hunting knives also makes them ideal for food prep and other common tasks.
