A new kitchen knife in AEBL from a maker on BladeForums designed for cutting fruits in drinks.

I understand; I have a stable of Bucks on the shelf. I butchered a couple deer with a 105 in D2 this year and really liked the blade, I just got a 117 that I like the size of, prefer it to the 119 as a general purpose. I have a Vanguard that feels great in the hand bug I haven’t put it to use...

If you’re wanting a hunting knife you may check out the ESEE Ashley Game Knife in S35VN, it’s on my list to add to the collection at some point.

I just got an email that it was extended through today. I ordered a pocket stone and angle finding card last night.

You can get a S30V Vanguard at Bass Pro/Cabelas if you don’t mind a coated blade.

Spyderco Catcherman sprint run. I’ve been waiting on this one since it was announced last year, will be a nice kayak kit addition.

Got the original Hogue hunting line, Extrak and Expel, during their Spring sale last week. Now hoping for some good luck this fall to try them out. I was surprised at how thin and light they both were.

Buck 119 in D2 for me and 842 in S30V for her. These will hold the newest title for about 72 hours… SMKW sucked me in with their Houge sale today. gif hosting

Where did you order from?

I ordered one yesterday as well after my wife decided she had to have the folder they released yesterday.

I’ve heard great things about the OE Swingblase for game cleaning.

Lionsteel has some good looking slip joints in nicer steels (M390).

Another marsupial fan here. I’ve added extra pouches to mine and if need be could grab just the bino pack and a rifle and have everything I need for a hunt. Mine is the enclosed model

I’ve skinned close to a half dozen deer with a D2 103 the last couple years. I really like it. Got one as a gift for a buddy and he liked it so much he bought his wife a S30V version

Houge Deka is on my short list and probably my pick from that group. Following that would be the Salt. I just bought a Buck 110 Hunter Sport which I’m enjoying for another option.
