matt_hooks 188 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 The Frosts knives are brilliant. Get the carbon steel blade, they hold their edge well and aren't prone to chipping like the stainless ones. I've got one that's gralloched and removed legs and heads from loads of deer, and it still takes an edge with a few strokes of the steel, and retains that edge for a good long time. Most important thing is to learn how to sharpen your blade properly. The Frost in carbon steel takes a little care to prevent rusting, but well worth the effort. Also, it's no great disaster if you manage to drop it in a field! 1 Quote Link to post

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Mora. clipper. 10 quid. get the carbon steel version, not the stainless. You seriously cannot get a better knife for 4 or 5 times that cash ATB Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Picked up a Mora Clipper for £9 at a game fair, brilliant knife, always doubted how good they were, just handle one, nicely built brilliant handle and a wickedly sharp blade! Quote Link to post
