Knife for archers

On the high end, I'd say a BRKT North Star.

On the lower end I'd go with one of the Tri-Flexx Moras. Mine's been a brute and worked better than most knives costing many times as much.
 
for a wee bit more $ you should check out Bill Buxton's work. I've been through a bunch of the aforementioned knives & feel Buxtons are a bargain. I'm using his Box Elder Burl Hunter while bowhunting.

You know where flipping the bird origionated from, when the french caught an English archer they would chop his shooting finger off, thus rendering him useless. The English archers would tease the French flippin 2 fingers in the air sort of like we flip the bird in sarcasm. 'My fingers are healthy and ready'.:thumbup:
 
From the Urban Legends Reference Pages:

Claim: The 'middle finger salute' is derived from the defiant gestures of English archers whose fingers had been severed by the French at the Battle of Agincourt.

It's a funny story and meant as a joke, but a lot of people fall for it as a piece of folk etymology. You can read the entire article at the link above.
 
Well it makes for a good story anyhow...And You know how archery freaks like myself like good lore AKA 'Robin Hood Men in tights'. LOL
 
Wild Steer is the only knife specifically designed for archery among all the knives recommended here, and hence the best recommendation for the question.
French or not, beaten with or without severing any fingers at Agincourt, what the heck, they sure have a longer tradition of archery than any but the Native Americans (hence the Cajun question) - and where's their tradition gone?
