I've been doing some searching on the web, trying to find a particular style of knife, but haven't quite found what I'm looking for. Maybe some of you sharps fans can help me out?
I have the BRKT Northstar - it's close to what I'm looking for but the blade is a little short and since I have a 1st production run I'm not keen on losing it in the field...
I want a drop point knife, ideally no finger guard or finger grips on the handle, blade length 5", depth no more than 1", width 3-4mm. Must be stainless with a stabilised handle material (must be easy to clean of bood and guts and not slippery when wet).
Although this could be made custom afterwards I suppose, the sheath should be a dangler style.
Intended use is gutting game, specifically the gralloching of deer. Grind needs to be for cutting skin/meat, not wood...
Anyone got any suggestions for an off-the-shelf product? I'm not looking for a custom made item at present as this would be a utility item not a collection piece.
I've looked at BRKT, Colombia River, Cold Steel, Gerber, Buck... Can't find what I'm looking for...
Does it even exist?
