Traditional Lockblade for A Hunter

Queen Cutlery used to offer its Hunter pattern with a linerlock as well as backspring. Certainly a hefty knife!

Worth checking for.

The much smaller 3.75" Copperhead liner lock I have is a big favourite, very robust and sturdy, so its bigger cousin could be one to consider.

Thanks, Will
 
Benchmade's 15015 Bone Collector skinner in D2, with micarta slabs, is the best knife for processing venison (in the field) that I've ever used. Superb blade control, the micarta gives a better grip when wet than when dry and Benchmade's D2 seems to stay sharper longer than Queen's. But if you're set on a big lockback folder, the Queen Mountain Man would be hard to beat. I've used mine (not a lockback) once and it did the job well, but I'd not buy one unless I could check the lockup first.
For the first twenty-some years of my hunting, I used a Schrade 152 Sharpfinger in 1095, but had to touch up the blade every now and then. D2 is where it's at.
