Anyone into knives?

[Cromulent]

I need an incredibly sharp hunting knife but there is a large selection on Amazon and I'm not sure which is the right one to get. Very sharp but not that long.

I bought a locking buck knife about 7 years ago, used it loads - still sharpens very well, expensive but worth it.

Blimey that is expensive.

Opinel do a good range of practical knives for outdoor uses, great quality and reasonably priced. I have a few as they're a no nonsense tool that are easy to clean and hone.

Of course if you intend to hunt bear then they aren't so useful, but for fishing and game shooting they are perfect.

Hmm. They look interesting but I don't know what to look out for when it comes to intended use (for knives in general).

Doesn't this sort of post get you on a watch list nowadays?

Probably already on it.

More replies coming in a couple of minutes...

I wouldn't bother with Amazon. I've been looking for a new EDC, and Heinnie seems to have a good selection.

Also if you need "incredibly sharp" then you're going to need to learn how to do that yourself.

Edit: the above assumes you do actually want a decent knife to use for outdoors type stuff.

If you just want a cheap and cheerful blade to shank a bruv and then chuck in the river, get yourself down to B&M and grab a Chinesium kitchen knife for £2

Thank you!

This is the op

I couldn't sleep and obviously my brain broke at some point.

Ahh yes but they're all in my possession already, I don't have to post on a forum saying I need to get more

To be fair you probably only have a couple of choices for places that are properly licensed to sell firearms.

What are you hunting?

Amazon boxes.

This thread is not as good as OP's magnificent Does anyone pay for a milkman? effort.

I still want a milkman.

I work and live in a capital city. It would be unusual that whilst on my 30 minute commute to the office and back I would need to rescue a moorhen, split branches, gut a trout, make a fire, open an Amazon box, make a knot, prepare a meal, skin a rabbit, cut an accident victim out of a mangled car wreck or anything even vaguely approaching any of these activities.

You sound fun .
