Fixed Blade

[kruby01 114]

I was just wondering If anyone can recommend a good cheap fixed blade hunting knife roughly £20?

 

I have my trusty whitby locking knife but its all scratched after use and not holding an edge as it used to plus the guthook is now useless. I want to go for a fixed blade and sheath this time but not an expensive one

 

Cheers

For fixed blades I use scuba/spearfishing knives with the skeleton handles. I just put vetwrap around the handle for grip. They are lightweight, stainless, hold a good edge if you get the right one and come with sheaths in rubber or plastic with a one handed release system. I think they are great so maybe something to consider.

I think you will need to spend a lot of money to get better than a clipper mora

I have just asked about the clippers as I have seen them in other colours and I dont really want the orange sheath to walk around the field Id rather the green. Colour wont put me off Id just like to see if green is available

i've got one with black and green handle, they make all sorts of colours, but as has been said, brighter is definately easier to spot when you've put it down though.

Mora clipper in CARBON steel

 

Takes more looking after but the edge is way better than the stainless.

 

£10 from Hienne ,,or from anywhere really .

 

For a cheap fixed blade, they cannot be beaten

I like the old timer range of knives, non slip handles and hold a good edge! Not too pricey either.

I have used this type of knife and they work for me. The sheath has a one handed spring release system and the rubber straps that come with it could be replaced with webbing straps if you prefer. I put vetwrap around the handle for grip. To be honest the edge will be not a touch on that Mora blade and now I have been educated I will be getting a Mora soon Having said that I will still always have the divers skeleton type as well, I find them practical, secure and a tough as old boots, "just in case" type outdoors accessary.

They look familiar, I think I bought four at the Midlands game fair years ago. Defo very similar, frost high carbon etc and they are good for £10 and was even better at 4 for £20 back then, good knives
