Omni Hunter

This is the knife you want for all the kinds of work you hesitate to use your fancy cutlery for. A very wide blade with a good hollow grind leaving a very substantial spine. A comfortable handle long enough to keep your hand safe while you use a club to pound the blade through kindling. A decent if unlovely sheath. A good edge that's easily restored. What more could you want? I can't comment on its suitability for skinning game animals, but I have beaten and pried and twisted this blade shamelessly,… Full review

Hartsook Ultralite

A tiny, light, fixed-blade knife, perfect for ultralight backpackers who don’t need a woodcraft blade. If you’re like me, you love backpacking forums in spring.

Mini Buck

A small lightweight American made knife that holds an edge. This little Buck Knife is perfect for my camping and backpacking needs.

It measures 4.7 inches in the open position and the blade has just over 1.5… Full review

110 Folding Hunter

THE classic folding hunting knife. Big, bold, beautiful. I hesitated to list any cons, because if you buy one of these 110 folders, you should know its specs — it is no little folder to clean your nails with. It's a big, hefty hunting folder. The brass on dark wood bolster/handle scales is pure classic lines, and the blade comes shaving sharp. Absolutely no wobble in the blade.  My only real complaint is the sheath Buck includes (the black leather one) is junk. But custom sheath makers abound… Full review

Nano Bantam

I'm always completely satisfied with every purchase of their products. This knife is one of my favorite and most useful things I carry. Full review
