tyler79+FollowWhy my knife matters more than my gunIt took me a few seasons to realize my hunting knife is just as important as any tag or rifle. From clean field dressing to cutting rope or even making camp lunch—your blade does way more than you think. Precision and durability matter when you’ve got meat on the line. If your knife can’t hold an edge, you’re in for a frustrating time. Got a go-to knife you swear by? #hunting #outdoors ##huntingknife #huntinggear674311Share
paulcarol+FollowField-tested: top 5 hunting knives I’ve triedLast season I watched someone struggle through field dressing with a dull folding knife for what felt like an hour. Not pretty. Been field dressing game for years and finally figured out what makes a great hunting knife, these are the 5 knives that have earned their place in my kit: 1️⃣ Best Overall: Nock On Triumph Hunter XL ($325) - 5.125" blade, only 6.2oz but tough enough for elk - Perfect balance of size and weight for backcountry hunts 2️⃣ Best Skinning: Beartooth Pro-Skinning ($350) - Curved blade designed specifically for hide work - Takes long, sweeping strokes like butter 3️⃣ Best All-Around: Benchmade Raghorn ($300) - 4" blade perfect for deer, turkey, smaller game - Lifetime sharpening guarantee is clutch 4️⃣ Best Budget: Kershaw Deschutes with gut hook ($80) - Great for field gutting, gut hook helps beginners - Won't break the bank 5️⃣ Best Starter: Gerber Exo-Mod Caper ($30) - My first knife as a kid, still solid for the money - Gets sharp enough to get the job done Trust me, investing in decent steel makes field dressing so much easier and safer.

tyler79+FollowMy Knife Is the MVP of My Hunting BagI’ll never forget my first successful hunt. Buck down, adrenaline pumping… and then came the real challenge: field dressing. My buddy pulled out this slick, razor-sharp fixed blade while I fumbled with an old folding knife that barely opened. I spent more time wrestling that deer than shooting it 😅 After that, I bought a decent knife—not expensive, just reliable. It changed everything. Clean, fast, respectful work. Now, I double-check my blade before every trip—just like my tags. Anyone else remember their first real hunting knife? #hunting #HuntingGear #HuntingKnife #Outdoors 97Share
