Schrade Walden, Craftsman single blade liner-lock, Western.

Hunters? Folding or fixed I think I have it covered.
Phillip Patton, Matt Bailey, Gerber (when Gerber was great) and Schrade.
The handle on the Bailey fills my hand perfectly while still giving a variety of grip styles. I'm not sure how he did it but it is amazing.
If you've never experienced Phillip's grinds you are really missing out.View attachment 2465233

Seeing so many fine clasp-type hunters on this thread made me go looking in my stash. Here's what I found:



Bone stag:

Jigged Delrin/Staglon:

Smooth/saw cut Delrin:

Single blade:

Case:


Various brands.. Some near mint, some heavily worn. Most need cleaning/polishing. I know I have a few others hiding somewhere. Thanks for watching! T-A

This one is an A. G. Russell Gents Hunter in stag, a little newer than the other one I have, the L. L. Bean Centennial Edition. It is a tapered tang in ATS34, 6-3/4" OAL.

Nice collection, thank you for sharing. that's an interesting case with the can opener. Whats that short blade with the screwdriver like tip? is it damaged and remade or factory?

I've never seen that second Buck. Appears to be a 391. For that matter, I've never seen the first one either. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, that is a damaged screwdriver blade. That is a very rare pattern, but, unfortunately, it has many condition issues. Please note, however, that the can opener is in mint condition!! T-A

That’s a beauty! Great stag.

I really like that horn.

I really like that horn.

Thanks. It came out pretty cool, kinda translucent.

I appreciate the variety of knives shown here from Horsewrights masterpieces to old and worn workhorses. It’s interesting to see the huge variety that everyone has and uses. Thanks everyone for sharing!

The fact that I'm on the road working doesn't mean I won't have a chance to hunt. I should be ready.

Scott Hanson, Phillip Patton, Ryan Weeks, Gerber and Schrade all contributed to this bunch.

Nothing fancy but I've never been able to dress a whitetail easier than I can with a Buck Diamondback 476. I like a little shorter blade (easier to maneuver) for getting the windpipe and this one works great for me. They are cheap enough you can buy a handful of 'em and be set for decades LoL

I have that smaller Gerber. I bought it when I was in the Navy along with my Gerber Ultimate Hunter. This was 40 years ago.

Great knife. I have one without the original sheath.

I carried the large one for nearly 40 years. The smaller one is relatively new to me. Fantastic knives that it seems everyone forgot about.

Anyone had experience with the GEC H23216? My brothers and I are planning an international hunt this year and I’d like to get a nice knife to take along. The cougar clawed bone looks like a beauty, so do the other canoe hunters too.
