Top 5 Knives

You can never go wrong buying an outdoorsman a new knife. Whether its a fixed blade, a multitool, a fillet knife, a foraging knife or a whole knife set, we have some suggestions for you!

Mossy Oak Survival Knife and Fire starter

This blade is big, very very big! This bad boy comes in at a whopping 15” knife. What a beast. This knife is more suited for campers than hunters. It is durable, holds and edge, and can do some of the rougher work like starting a fire and sharpening sticks for cooking. Built like a grizzly bear this thing can take a beating. Not to mention it is excellent value for you hard earned $$$!

Griaitus Multitool

Why buy a multitool knife when you can buy a multitool AXE! This thing was build with utility in mind. This thing should strap on to your belt whenever you go on an outdoor adventure. This bad boy has it all: Axe, File, Straight knife, Nail file, Serrated knife, Whistle, Nail clippers, Pipe clamp, Wire cutters, Flint igniter, Hammer, Corkscrew, Needle nose pliers, Phillips flat head screwdriver, Screwdriver mounting holes.

Rapala 7 1/2” Fillet Knife

When most people think of a fillet knife they think fishing. But these beauties are far more usefull than you first think. I use my rapala fillet knife not only for fishing, but for carving a turkey, for slicing beef, for cleaning grouse, for slicing lunch meat.

I have used fillet knives from $20 to $150. In my opinion the most important thing is to keep the knife sharp, and although the $150 ones hold their edge better, I find the cheaper ones do just as good a job of cutting despite having to sharpen a little more often. This budget fillet knife makes for a great option when thinking Christmas!

Mushroom Foraging Knife

Wild mushrooms are amazing! I have 3 jars of dehydrated chanterelles sitting on my desk looking at me right now as I type! Foraging is an excellent outdoor activity that can be done throughout the year (unless) . This gift idea can be paired with a mushroom identification book for your region to make a complete gift idea. This is great for someone who is already into the hobby or for someone who may be looking to get into it.

Ruko Fish and Hunting Game Processing Set

This is one of my favorite sets. I leave these guys in the back seat of my truck and take them with me whenever I set out hunting or fishing.

This may sound a little crazy but having a complete set in your truck may come in handy if you ever hit a deer on the highway. If you’re going to ruin your bumper you may as well fill your freezer at the same time!

Bonus Item!

Knife Sharpener

If you’re looking to pair up the knife with another gift or you think they have enough pointy objects lying around already, you can’t go wrong with a quality knife sharpener! This set it designed for on the go utility and includes a fire starter, serrated blade sharpener, a coarse and a fine sharpener!

And that does it for this list! Leave a comment below and let me know, what’s on your wish list?
