I am after buying a friend a sheath knife suitable for digging the odd arrow out of trees and the like when out in the woods on NFAS shoots.
Ideally she would like a black handle and sheath, leather of cordura. I figure a drop point would have advantages, a fairly thick blade as there is a lot of levering and chiselling. A thumb guard of some sort might be an advantage too. Stainless probably as all the care effort goes into the archery equipment - she shoots compound whereas I shoot takedown recurve.
Ideally the answer would be 'don't miss in the first place' but we all do - course setters seemingly delight in making some shots very difficult. almost having to shoot around trees sometimes.
Suggestions, and page links, greatly appreciated.
Cheers all,
Richard
