Here’s one that fits the OP’s criteria to a T. The Buck 119BRS1. If you can find one….it’s a beauty. Basically a Buck 119 with a stacked leather handle. Looks like it would fill the hand nicely

Haha..... You don't even have one of Mine, yet.....

*I agree though..... I Do like thin blades, and large/comfy handles.

Buck 119

I really like my Case 365-5 in SS and polished almost to a mirror finish. Almost razor-sharp straight out of the box, and it has held an edge remarkably well after cutting up probably a half-dozen deer, and the stacked leather handle gives good grip even when bloody and greasy. Blade is .105" thick near handle. Mine came with a halfway-decent leather sheath.

How about a Mule Team fixed blade from Spyderco? Pretty slicey, and you get to pick out your own scales...

I will give THANKS when I do get one.

Thank you all for your replies. I found a sale on a Helle Temagami in 14C28N stainless steel, so we’ll see how that works out!

Another vote here for a Buck 117! Any of the 100 series really, but a 117 is the size you asked for.

What about the thin/hard Carothers FK?

Their Field Knife is .188" Thick.

Mine looks thicker. Ill have to bring a caliper home from work.

Busse has some on their website that are .090”. Blade lengths 3.75”+. Not sure how suitable they are for big hands. All of the drop point models look great for a hunting knife.

Good choice. Those look a little sturdier than Helle's laminated blades.

I wanted to try that 14c28n steel!

I really love it, I got my first 14c28n with my kershaw leek, back 10+ years ago now... great stuff

Sandvik knows their stuff. I like their 12C27 -- Manly Wasp, 60/61 HRC.

Update; received my new Helle jegermester in the mail today. Wow! Beautiful wood, nice thick handle that fits my hand perfectly. And that thin blade is super slicey sharp! Very good fit and finish. I’m impressed. If you haven’t had the chance, take a look at Helle knives, they really are impressive!

When you asked for thin hunting knifes I instantly thought about my BRKT Bird&Trout.
Maybe other knifes in that Bird and Trout category fit your needs, too?
