6. Bear & Son 751 Bird & Trout
This small knife has an awful lot to like about it, particularly when you consider the price. With a high-carbon stainless blade length of 3-inches, a great looking imitation stag handle, and an overall length of 6.5-inches, don’t let the small size fool you.
The Bear & Son 751 Bird & Trout knife can easily perform precision work, but the full tang construction gives it the durability to tackle a variety of bushcraft jobs.
This knife is perfect for trimming meat thought, and it’s super easy to hold onto. As an added bonus, this nice addition to your bug out bag was made in the USA and comes with a nice leather sheath.
7. CRKT Free Range Hunter
As you can see, the CRKT Free Range Hunter has a nice thick rubberized handle that fits nicely into an adult’s hand, even if that adult has some pretty large hands. The all-weather grip makes it possible to get good usage out of the knife even in wet conditions.
The Free Range Hunter series comes in a gut hook version, traditional, and even a folding version; we don’t think you can go wrong with any of the three. This knife was designed by a professional hunting guide, and it can help you get through several deer seasons before it needs to be sharpened.
The super lightweight frame is a nice touch that makes it possible to use the knife for long periods of time. It’s a mid to light duty knife, like the Mora, with a super comfortable grip and a mid-thickness blade. Read: Not a machete.
