Strong knives for hunters, foresters, camping, outdoors. A hunting knife is a knife that the hunter needs for a variety of hunting tasks and for killing and working on game. In principle, almost any sturdy knife is suitable for this purpose. However, over the course of time, special types of hunting knives have been developed for the various tasks. There are also regional differences in terms of name and type.
Hunting knives can basically be designed as folding knives or fixed knives. Fixed-blade knives are preferred for reasons of stability, safety and ease of cleaning. The blade length is usually 10-15 cm. Exceptions are the stag knife and the hunting knife, which can have overall lengths of over 70 cm. As the hunter needs different knives for different tasks, these are often carried as hunting cutlery in a common sheath. Sturdy, non-slip handles are used, often made of wood or stag horn. There are folding hunting knives that have several inserted blades or so-called interchangeable blades, which are replaced depending on use.
The main task of hunting knives is to break open (remove the entrails) of hunted animals. As the hunter often only carries one knife, it must also be suitable for intercepting (stabbing into the chest, heart) or nicking (stabbing into the spinal cord of the skull) game that has been shot. Specialized knives are usually used for skinning (“knocking out”, “skinning”, “stripping”) and cutting (actually like those used by butchers), provided that such work is carried out in suitable rooms.
Quite a few hunters carry a special “breaking knife” (the blade can be part of a folding knife) in addition to the utility knife, the typical features of which are an inwardly curved blade and a blunt tip (often designed as a “button”). After opening the body cavity of the killed animal, it is inserted under the skin with the cutting edge pointing upwards. This technique and the blunt tip prevent damage to the innards, which can lead to a reduction in the quality of the meat.
Special skinning and butchering knives are only carried for hunting when the animal is processed in the wild.
