What is a Leatherman Hunting Knife?

Leatherman hunting knives are long lasting, durable and multi functional. The knives come in a variety of styles and sizes. The blades are typically between 3.5” and 4” inches long. The knives are foldable ensuring your safety at all times. Only one tool is capable of being out at a time, providing even more safety. Fixed blades are also available if you prefer, with a rotating handle to encase the other tools on the knives. The knives are lightweight, weighing in around eight ounces.

Features of a Leatherman Hunting Knife

You can choose between a knife that has two to three tools. The knives have a standard stainless steel, straight edge, drop point blade. A bone saw and gut hook are available on certain designs. The bone saw and gut hook are stored in the handle to ensure safety. Several of the designs come standard with a diamond coated sharpening rod and leather sheath.

Costs of a Leatheman Hunting Knife

A new Leatherman hunting knife starts around $100.00, for a standard two tool knife. The Steen series which feature four tools, start around $150.00.

Cabela’s Drop Point Knives
A quality knife made by Cabela’s is the Rosewood Alpha Drop Point knife. This knife has a handle that is made from rich Rosewood and the blade is 154CM stainless steel that measures 4¼; the overall length of this Rosewood beauty is 8½”, and weight out to 7.2oz.

Leatherman Nehalem Drop Point
Every hunter knows that having a quality-folding pocketknife is also essential when cutting up game during hunting or camping. One of these top quality knives is the Leatherman Nehalem-154CM Folding Blade Hunting Knife. This is a drop point knife that also comes with a gut hook that is hidden until it is needed; this gut hook comes out of the opposite side of the knife as the blade, meaning that it comes out of the handle rather than it being positioned on the blade itself. The lockback on this knife is strong so it will never close on you. Hidden in the handle as well is a diamond coated sharpening tool to quickly sharpen your knife if needed. The blade on this knife measures 4”, which makes it a small, yet durable drop point knife.

Boker Knives
Another drop point knife that is good is the Boker Plus Collection Knife, 2009, BK-BO161. This knife is pretty and large, with a 440C stainless steel 7¼” drop point blade that has a satin finish and a two-tone polish creating a mirror reflection. The overall length of this knife however, is 12¼”. This is a collection knife made by Boker for 2009.

This knife is a 2009 collection drop point knife as well as the Boker Plus collection knife. It also comes with a black presentation box with a glass lid to view through.

One of my favorites, and a simpler knife is the Woodsman knife. This knife is great for fishing or for small game when hunting. It has a skinny, steel, drop point blade that measures 4” with an awesome leather stacked handle. Buck makes this knife solely for L.L. Bean. It also comes with a brown leather sheath for carrying.

Do you like the water or going to the river? The second knife on my list is the Columbia River Knife, which has an ultima 7” spear point fixed blade. This blade is made to bear a resemblance to the Bronze Age daggers that existed 4000 years ago. The handle has more than 70 triangle grips that help you hold the knife with complete control.

It has a gut hook for easy dressing, and a checkered Kraton grip that gives you good handling even if it is bloody or wet; it comes included with a black leather ConcealEx sheath.
Last is a knife that must be mentioned because it has always been a popular knife is the Winchester 22-41789 Pakka Wood Large Fixed Blade Knife. This knife is a great knife and is not too expensive if you are looking for something with a lower price range. The blade is stainless steel and comes with a fine edge and a gut hook. The handle is pakka wood that gives strength and style to the knife. This wood is a deep red colored wood that also gives the knife a sharp look to it. This knife is great as a gift for someone that likes to go camping or small game hunting. It is also a good knife for first timers because it is not too big and it is a classic knife.
