ISO knife. need help choosing.

(1/3) > >>

Russ:
im looking for a knife that is a set one. not a flip pocket knife. i want to use it for making bows as a scraper, chopper, and wood shaver (kinda like draw knife). just a all round good knife. what type of knife would you reccomend. i dont know. would a kukuri work, camp knife, buoy kife? i like the look of the kukuri but thats just my opinion. i could use some help finding a type of knife

Pat B:
Go to a thrift shop and look for an "Old Hickory" kitchen knife. Should be cheap, has good steel and you can flatten the spine(back side) and use each edge as a scraper. They come in all different sizes so maybe you can get a few of different sizes to help cover all bases.

KHalverson:
pat is correct,
get an old hickory butcher knife,
its a quality knife that will fit the bill for what you need and they don't break the bank.

dylanholderman:
If you can’t find one at a thrift store look at a local hardware store, the ones around me often have new ones on the shelf

Mr. Woolery:
Next option is a Mora knife. I suggest the carbon steel blade option. They are cheap enough new that you’d swear they have to be garbage. They aren’t junk. Best value for an all-around knife ive ever seen.

I’ve had good experiences with Ragweed Forge. Great prices and I like supporting a small business.

(I unthinkingly posted a direct link initially, forgetting about the PA policy against that. Sorry. A simple search will find it if interested.)
