Archers pocket knife

[Trond]

Quick question: If you had to choose just one pocket knife, which knife would that be?

[threeunder]

Are we designing one?  Or something already on the market?

[Sam McMichael]

One pocket knife would not serve all needs, but in terms of bowhunting, I carry a folding knife from Browning. I have had it so long, I can't remember the model number. Also, I have dressed out a lot of deer with a Case Sodbuster.

[Trond]

Wish I could say that we´re designing one, but I´m going for an existing one. Lost my good Swiss Army knife, and looking for a replacement.

[monterey]

Get another swiss army!

I like any of the belt tools such as leatherman or gerber.

[threeunder]

Agree with Monterey.  Little better than the SAK, Leatherman tool, or Gerber tool.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I am pretty fond of the Case Trappers Model if we are speaking knives and not multi tools.  the only draw back is it doesn't lock but I have never had a knife fold shut on me anyhow.

[Rick Butler]

There needs to be a leatherman type tool for the traditional archer, with a knife blade, a 3/16 allen key(for 3pc. bow designs) an extendable ruler to check brace and nock height, a small file for edge touch ups etc,etc.

[Biathlonman]

Hard to beat a sak centurion for every day carry.  I'm constantly using the Phillips screw driver and the blade is plenty large and locking for most field dressing chores.

I carry a bench made locking folder. Not a multi tool just a knife..

[Stumpkiller]

Victorinox Camper.  It even has a little saw blade.

 

But happily I don't have to choose just one.         When I'm in a tree stand I like to have a spring assist opener large single blade as well in the edge of a front pants pocket.

Kershaw Turbulence or Knockout or a CRKT HeiHo, etc.

Any good lock back folder will be good, Buck, Case, Schrade [older ones], Camillus. Even a 3 blade stockman is a handy one to have in your pocket. It's a personal choice......I have way to many knives.......I like it that way.....  

[KyRidgeRunner]

If I was picking knife and not multi tool.  I use a case Folding hunter if I could only have one.  Big enough to skin out any game in the state of KY and holds a good edge for everyday chores.  The large trapper would run a close second for me.  I like to find the ones with chrome vanadium blades.  They take and hold an edge better IMHO

[Stumpkiller]

I don't care for folders when field dressing.  My favorite for that is a Izula II and neck sheath.  ALWAYS on my neck during hunting season . . . so I don't forget it.  ;-)


 

2-1/2" blade that is sharp, stays sharp and is easy to resharpen when needed.

[The Whittler]

Leatherman for me, very handy little knife.

[bucknut]

My German Eye Double muskrat is my go to knife for everything in Ohio. On western trips I carry a Leatherman Super tool. The serrated blade is good enough to skin, quarter, cape and bone out a whole elk without sharpening.

[Jake Scott]

I'm with stumpkiller all the way!  I love my izula II in the woods, and I carry the smaller candiru everyday, just dropped into my back pocket.  I've stopped carrying folding knives altogether.

Hard to beat the little Izula II,my all time favorite.        

[Charlie Lamb]

I usually carry at least a couple but the one that comes out of my pocket most often is the Swiss Army Camper like Stumpkiller's except with black scales.

That little saw is a lot handier than one would imagine.

[Possumjon]

 
I carry this everywhere, a gfa mini.  On my belt in town or fishing, on my neck while hunting. Use it for 90% of my needed tasks, easy to sharpen, holds an edge and can strike a fero rod. For a folder I carry a schrade trapper on occasion
