What Are the Uses of a Grohmann Canadian Belt Knife?

[redsquid2]

They look like neat knives, but what do people use them for? Thanks for your feedback.

Up here in the boonies of Canada a lot of guys use them for hunting. A great skinner and all round good small fixed blade. I find them slightly strange looking, like a distorted Nessmuk But they feel great in the hand and cut well. AND, they're Canadian made ;-)

I have one and it really does great for skinning/quartering a buck. It really feels natural and gets into the nooks and crannies well.

I always thought they were used to skin Canadians but I could be wrong....

They're a really versatile, under-rated design, imo. As mentioned, great for hunting/skinning work, but also great for just general, all-around camp use. Ergonomics are quite good. I have the smaller #2 'Bird & Trout' version and love it. It's been used for just about everything, right up to processing elk:

The Bark River version is excellent as well, with a bit more spine and a full convex grind. This is one of the fixed blades I continually reach for, regardless of what I'm doing outdoors (or in the kitchen):

You'd need to keep your stone handy getting through our tough hides

I love the Canadian bowback design in all its many varieties. I think its one of the best all-around camp knives designs. I can't really see anything it can't do.
I like the offset handle. It's much more conducive to food prep, slicing and dicing much like a kitchen knife.

Great design. I have a couple myself. And John Kiedaisch (JK Knives on BF) makes some real nice versions of these.

This is their large hunter from their custom shop. The sheath gave out so my buddy had me make a new one.

As Herter used to say, "This isn't a drugstore cowboy's belt knife." or something close to that.

I find myself occasionally wanting to order one. They also offer it in full flat grind if that's what you want.
