Let’s talk hunting knives. (Traditional)

[Hatchet_Jack]

Cudeman Akeley held up well on a few deer this year.

Because of health reasons it has been several years since I last hunted, but for some reason I keep accumulating hunting knives, can't help it.
Here are some of my recent grabs . . .

 

[KentuckyBlackBird]

The three fixed blades are my own creations. Parker folding hunter with reworked bone. This thing laid on an oil rig for years before it was found and I renovated the scales. Buck 110 (sheath not pictured). Ka’bar folding hunter from the 40s-50s.

I'm a sucker for case knives and the red bone on some of those are simply stunning!!

Fantastic collection of folding hunters.

Question: Next to the 3 pin Old Timer 7OT; Is that a 3 pin Uncle Henry LB8?

Great collection. For me, the LB7 and 7OT would be plenty.

That old Western is something! Great condition.

Thanks, JM, but I have an older one with leather handle that's absolutely mint.

Yes it is. Good eye.

That is a gem, but I think I like the other one better, something about the handle.

I'm told this isn't the original sheath, but it's what came with the knife from the southern retailer with never free shipping.
"Stainless/ R14 U.S.A./ M"

I have this exact same knife and have used it skinning several whitetail deer. Can't remember where I bought mine many moons ago. Maybe K-Mart?? They used to carry a decent selection of hunting stuff back in the day. From what I understand these old Western/Coleman knives were made by Camillus.

I think you're right.

Just got this in the mail. Pretty sure it’s a Schrade CH-2

Remington bullet trappers...plenty of knife for most hunting endeavors.

Newest addition to the folding hunter collection and the only liner lock in the bunch.

Very nice collection. I have a vintage Browning like yours in the back left that was a gift from a guy who had used it on many successful hunts, and I used quite a bit too. I treasure that knife.

My main ones have others but these get the most use.

Love the No 3, One of my friends who was an Airborne Instructor at Benning years ago carried a 6 in No. 3.

So far this No 11 is my favorite woods wandering knife. Haven't done any hunting with it yet, I got it got it back in the summer, from my Bible study partner who bought it then never used it. But I have done a good bit of woods wandering and scouting with it, and doing wild life photos. I love the weight distribution and inertia development of it. This thing just flick-cuts through our heaviest briers here, some the size of my forefinger, with minimmal resistance. Barely any movement required and hardly any noise made. Makes it easier to get closer in for better shots without scaring everything off.
