Ok Last Time I Swear Is This A Good Hunting/survival Knife?

Don’t let the name calling get to you. Every single one of them was a kid at one time, that cried their eyes out over something.
I understand how important a knife is for hunting, camping and wilderness survival. I am in my mid 50’s and have some very expensive knives but find myself using some cheap ones more often than the high dollar ones. In fact my favorite butchering knife is a cheap carbon steel Old Hickory knife from Ontario Knife Company.http://www.ebladestore.com/knives/OH-77.…
Many of my friends own several knives from that company here in Alaska. I mean Alaskan trappers, hunters and big game guides. That company also makes knives for the US Military.
The knife you selected will do for starting out. But I would consider a better quality steel so it will hold an edge. Looks are not important, what is important is good steel and a good handle.
Beware of those cheap survival knives many of them will not hold an edge and break at the worse time.
Here are some more I found for you to consider;http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…http://cgi.ebay.com/Ontario-Knife-Co-OK6…http://cgi.ebay.com/VIETNAM-MAC-SOG-COMB…http://cgi.ebay.com/Winchester-by-Gerber…http://cgi.ebay.com/Two-Used-Buck-119-fi…http://cgi.ebay.com/CT20-Colt-Trail-Scou…http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Smith-Wesson-S-W…

The best knife for you is the one that makes you happy. I think this would be a good starter knife; you can improve on it later based on the knowledge gained from this one. Eventually you will find what is best for your situation. Experience will teach you a lot about what makes a particular item “best” under specific circumstances; there is not any “perfect” knife for all situations and you can’t carry enough to be prepared for all situations. (I think the first link would be better that the latter; just my opinion).
Don’t worry about the losers on here calling you a loser; they have to make themselves feel good somehow.

Ive been collecting knifes for about half my life. im only a year older than you so i kinda know where your comin from.
Money is hard to come by so you look for the best for what you can buy right?
The neck knife looks fine but dont get it through ebay.
If i were you i would safe up an extra 25 bucks and buy a good gerber.
if you want survival and hunting. DONT get a folder.
Trust me, get a fixed with the blade running through the handle.
If seen crappy $30 knifes when the blade doent run through the handle snap in half if you try to f=do anything use ful with them, like try to pry open a box or cut down a small tree.
A KA-BAR is an excellent brand, ive have a few, and have had no problems, it keeps and edge for a long time, but this makes it hard to sharpen, which i use a block for bcause all the factory shapeners ive used dont put as sharp a edge as i like. Same with SOG knifes. there both military spec knifes and i assure you you wont have any problems with them.
Take a look at this knife. Its the one i’m going to buy next.
It’s mainly for survival but i bet you it would gut a deer just fine.http://www.sogknives.com/store/F03T.html
Her it lists it at $63 but Cabelas has it for $40.

Im happy to help.

This is a webpage for answering question, if you get tired of it, get off ASSHOLE!!!
We all have the right to ask as many as we want. It’s YOUR choice to answer.
DUMBASS!!!

If your budget is that low then your ONLY choice is a Mora of Sweden knife.http://www.moraofsweden.se/index.php?cid…http://www.moraofsweden.se/index.php?cid…
I know they don’t look much, but if you want a good blade at that price, then you just have to put up with plastic handles/sheaths. They are the best knife for the price, no doubt about it. Extremely easy to learn to sharpen with too (you’ll also want a good sharpening stone/system, otherwise your knife [any knife] is useless after a day of hard use).
When you start looking to buy bigger blades, or better ‘furnature’ materials at that price you’re taking a serious hit on build and blade quality; you won’t be able to get a sharp edge on those knives, and any edge you do get will wear down very quickly, and the knives will probably fall apart under stress.
You really don’t need a bigger blade than 4″ for hunting.

OK, for the last time, check out #499 on this link…http://www.ontarioknife.com/milissue.htm…
And I stand corrected about the price…I haven’t bought one in about 30 years, but this is all I’ve carried and I’ve cleaned plenty of deer, elk and buffalo with one…not to mention making plenty of sandwiches along the way:https://www.dexter1818.com/Item_Details_…

You get what you pay for, of course. That’s a dagger blade, so I don’t think it would work well for skinning an animal or gutting a fish. I’m just guessing.

Just buy a K-bar their $50 so save ur lunch money a few more weeks.

I like it. It’s clean and simple looking and it’s a good design for a blade. Great handle to blade lines, nice big belly for skinning, flat ground….all highly desirable in a skinner.
I’d like it better if I could find out the steel type, but at that price I’d be willing to give it a try. It appears, just from eyeballing it mind you, to probably be 420 J2. While not the greatest (far from it) at holding a long-term edge, it’ll do.
If it turns out to be pretty decent, you might even think about adding your own wooden scales to the grip. Maybe some ivory micarta?
Ghost: I like your posts, sir….but knives aren’t designed to “pry open boxes” or “cut down small trees”. lol It’s that sort of thinking that leads folks to believe a knife must be everything from a prybar to an axe and *still* stay razor sharp….and that thinking destroys perfectly good knives and injures folks.
Any time someone asks me for advice on a “survival knife”, I always tell them that men, for literally thousands of years, carried a sliver of flint about as long as your thumb. Only when amateurs started carrying short swords and battle axes to make up for their lack of knowledge did “survival knives” like we see them today start appearing. A perfect “survival knife” would be a good quality three bladed rancher-type (stockman to some folks) pocket knife. It’ll do anything you could want a knife to properly do.
