smooth flowing cut taking the pressure off the wrist. The blade of the
hunting knife has a thick, heavy spine that provides strength, as well
as the right amount of flexibility for skinning, gutting and quartering. Hunting knives are generally used for cleaning and skinning. Because of their beautiful designs, they have become collectors' items. They often have a heavy duty diverse designed guard. The hilts usually have brushed copper tone and curved stainless steel blades. At times, top of the blade of these knives is half serrated, used for cutting wood or bone. The clip point,single ground blade extends all the way through the handle and attaches to a stainless steel pommel that is capable of being used as a field hammer. The best commercial blades are made of hollow-ground stainless or high carbon steel to hold a keen edge. Hunting knives are referred to as significant ancient cultural artifacts symbolizing social status and pride.
