Grohmann Knives

[rangerblanket]

Was just wondering what your guys thoughts are on Grohmann knives. I have the #4 survival knife i don't use it often but when i do it never lets me down. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and stories! http://gknives.com/

Several regular posters in the Traditional Forum have them and like them.

I've had one for about 14 years now , the #3 Boat knife, and it's never failed to do what I needed it to do. I put a slight convex edge on it some time ago, and have never need anything short of a light stropping to bring it back to full sharp. I got mine before they came out with the flat grind models, todday I would opt for one today.
Grohmann is great bang for your buck

I like the Canadian design and have carried it via the Herters knife off and on, hunting and backpacking since 1966 or so. I now have both the Herter's and the D.H. Russell versions and the normal caveats you see on this forum apply: "the SST Russell has a more delicate edge and the carbon knife requires a little more care regarding rust."

Both are a little thick in the spine for what I use them for: slaughtering deer and elk in Colorado. They are fine in that application though, just not as ideal as a thinner; .100-.125" skinner or a butcher knife blade could be for cutting up and packaging cuts of meat. If you are going to use your knives to pry, baton or chop (which I don't); given the limitation of the size in that application, with care, I expect they will last a lifetime of camping, fishing and hunting.

I like them.

I have a DH Russell marked #4 Survival, a flat ground Micarta scaled #1 by Grohmann and a R. MURPHY (Herters, supplier) Canadian Skinner. All in carbon. All are well designed, work easy in the hand and keep their edges well. Used them on camp type (firesticks, food prep etc,) chores and cutting leather. My health nosedived before I could take them hunting. That flat ground #1 is a real slicer.

As I have said in other posts I am a huge fan of Grohmann knives. I have a #1 #4 a drop point hunter and a short bladed skinner by them as well as 2 r Murphy ' s and a cold steel canadian belt knife. I plan on getting a #3 and #2 in the next year or so. The design of the number 1 is hands down my favorite knife design.

I use my n1 hunting as a skinner. It's what it was designed for. I also take it hiking and camping. My wife loves the design also and she uses one of the r Murphys as a camp knife and for food prep.

You can't go wrong with a grohmann in my opinion.
