Hunting

At Tellknives Cutlery, we know that our Swiss hunters are very demanding when it comes to the equipment they use to practice their sport. Each hunter has his own preferences depending on the game he hunts and its specificities. The range is very wide in this area, so here is some information to help you make the right choice.

The blade of the hunting knife

Every hunter must have an appropriate knife that suits him to practice this sport in the best possible conditions. The choice and therefore the purchase of your hunting knife must be made with full knowledge of the game for which the knife is intended

For example, big game requires a hunting knife with a very hard steel blade that keeps its sharpness for many hours. But it will be more cumbersome in a belt sheath. There are also smaller hunting knives with smaller blades for game requiring finer work such as deer (evisceration of the animal). Buck is one of the most emblematic brands of hunting knives. However, the competition is very important in this field, so it is interesting to see what other brands offer in terms of hunting knives.

You will also find on our site specific hunting knives equipped with a hook for the first incision.

We also distribute very functional brands such as Avanona which innovate for more practicality in the field. Lovers of always sharp blades will be happy to see that from now on the simple fact of storing your blade in its sheath sharpens your hunting knife. During hunting, when your knife tends to dull quickly, it is a real satisfaction to be able to work with a knife that is always perfectly sharp.

It is also possible to combine the hunting knife with the survival knife. This is especially true for those who want to experience a survival course in the wilderness without having to carry too much equipment. Thus, there are blades that allow you to make a good compromise between these two uses.

The handle of the hunting knife

Be careful with the choice of the handle, because its ergonomics and grip are crucial to guarantee safety in use. Favour slightly porous coatings to absorb excess moisture and guarantee a good continuity in the grip (like Micarta or textured G10). Generally, hunting knives are equipped with a profiled handle to improve the grip. A guard may be necessary for more safety.

As you can see, knife makers are constantly innovating in terms of hunting knives. It is important to meet the specific needs of the field. So you will have an embarrassment of riches in our collection and at all prices!

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hunter, you will undoubtedly find the right hunting knife for you in this hunting selection.

The specialists in hunting knives are, in our opinion, the brands Buck, Bark River, Lionsteel, Condor, Benchmade, Boker and many others that we invite you to discover in our catalogue.

As of January 2020, Tellknives will participate in the presentation of specific hunting knives during the courses for the Hunting Licence (VD). For further information, please contact us: [email protected]
