Gerber Hunting Knives - Are Gerber Knives the Best For Your Hunting Adventures?

!±8± Gerber Hunting Knives - Are Gerber Knives the Best For Your Hunting Adventures?

When it comes to finding the best hunting knives, Gerber hunting knives should definitely be at the top of your list.

These have been among the most widely used among hunters for some time now, and if you are in the market for the best knifes, I'd highly recommend you at least start your search with them.

Gerber has been around for nearly 60 years (next year will be the 60th anniversary) and therefore you know they have plenty of experience making hunting knives. They have made many hunting supplies during the time period, not just knives, and know the hunting industry inside and out.

Which ones should you look into? The fermand hunter might be their most widely used model, and it comes with a nice polished wooden handle to give it a plus appearance. The grip is also very high quality, and therefore you don't have to worry about constantly losing your grip while skinning those tougher animals, a constant annoyance to many hunters.

This knife is made for smaller animals only, as it is too short to effectively skin bigger game. Because of this, they are one of the cheaper models among Gerber hunting knives, and if you are a small game hunter, you probably should start out with these.

Next up, we have the firestorm knives. These are 3 and a quarter inches long, and therefore, due to their large length, are much better equipped for handling big game than the Freeman knives. Of course, with that said, they will be quite a bit more pricey as well, and you should only consider them if you plan on doing a lot of large game hunting. These are the most popular.

While there are other Gerber hunting knives, these are the most widely used, and the ones I'd recommend at least begin with on your search, and if they don't meet your need specifically, you can always branch out from there. However, start here, and you will find the right hunting knife that meets your needs quickly and affordably.

Four Great Hunting Knives That Should Last For Generations

!±8± Four Great Hunting Knives That Should Last For Generations

I've been doing a lot of research lately, and am impressed with the craftsmanship, innovation and value of Gerber knives. Gerber has been around for over 70 years and produces several well-regarded lines of tough knives that are still made in the USA.

The most popular lines of knives from Gerber are the: Gator, Bear Grylls Ultimate, Prodigy and the LMF II.
Let's take a bird's-eye view of each line.

Bear Grylls Ultimate
Gerber worked with world adventurer and star of the TV show, 'Man vs. Wild' to produce a hybrid knife that Bear could use in his show, and of course, Gerber could sell to fans. The result is the Bear Grylls Series of knives.

The line includes a very nice fixed and folding blade knife suitable for hunting. The fixed blade knife sports a quality straight to serrated blade, fire starter, sharpener, butt-end hammer and whistle.

Gator
The Gator line has been around for years and is loved by millions for its super grip and rugged, edge-holding blades. This is a rather large line of blades that includes several fixed and folding knives, a large and small machete and a few axes and saws for use around the campfire after a long day of hunting. Most notably, owners love this knife's ability to hold a razor-sharp blade.

LMF II
The LMF II is the toughest out of the four knives that we are looking at today. It was designed and tested for durability in the most adverse hunting conditions. If you want a really versatile knife that will last for many years the LMF II will not disappoint. This knife is also the most expensive knife of the four. However, at under it is well worth the price, especially for a knife that may last you for generations. Many owners report that the LMF II is the best knife that they ever owned.

Prodigy
The Gerber Prodigy is the very popular little brother of the LMF II. Design is similar to the LMF II, but in a smaller and lighter package. If you want a knife that is built to last for decades and is easier to store and carry while hunting than LMF II, you may want to consider the Gerber Prodigy.

In the end, you can't go wrong with any of these knives for your next hunting adventure. They are all built well, from quality components, by one of the best knife designers in the world.

Five Gut Hook Hunting Knives Every Hunter Loves

!±8± Five Gut Hook Hunting Knives Every Hunter Loves

Gut hook knives help take some of the work out of skinning and dressing game. Every hunter should own at least one gut hook knife, and there are many to choose from when searching for the best one out there. Chances are, your not going to simply settle on one knife. There are 5 gut hook-hunting knives every hunter wants.

First, is a knife that is a must because it is a classic and has always been a popular knife; the Winchester 22-41789 Pakka Wood Large Fixed Blade Knife. This knife is a wonderful, reliable knife that is inexpensive. The blade is stainless steel and comes with a gut hook and a fine edge. The handle is pakka wood, which is a dark red colored wood that gives style as well as strength to the knife.

Another must have knife is the Gerber Blades 06932 Gator GH Folding Gut Hook Knife. It folds and locks back so the knife will never close on you. The blade is made from high carbon stainless steel and is a length of 3.75". It has an easy grip handle that is equipped with Kraton rubber for a better grip. The entire length of the knife with the blade open is 8.75". This knife is a full sized knife that folds, which is not very common and is said to be one of the best of its kind offered to the public.

Made by Gerber as well is the Freeman Gut Hook Hunter fine edge sheath knife-8465. The handle to this knife is pear wood that is strong and solid. It weighs 6.8 oz, with a blade length of 3.92". The entire length of the knife including the blade is 8.35". This knife was actually recognized in 2003 as one of the most favorable hunting knives ever made.

Another very popular knife that is a must have because it is so different and unique looking compared to the ordinary gut hook knife is the Cabela's outfitters series gut hook knife known as the trigger skinner knife. The edge of the knife is razor sharp and has a nickel, Vanadium and Tungsten in the alloy to enhance the capability of taking an edge very quickly. It has a small, fat, gut hook that measures 4 ½", with a 3/8" gap, and is 8½" length overall.

Last is the absolutely must have Kershaw Alaskan blade trader knife. It is equipped to switch to multiple blades; included is a AUS6A stainless steel gut hook blade for gutting that measures 6"; a 420J2 stainless steel blade for hunting that measures 3½", and a saw steel blade for sawing your game that measures 6". This knife is great because it gives you the opportunity to switch blades while using the same knife handle. The quick lock mechanism makes it easy and safe to switch blades in a matter of seconds. It also includes a leather sheath that is equipped with a holder for each individual blade. The overall weight of this knife is 11.6 oz. This knife is definitely top on my list of must have gut hook knives; and yet also includes two additional knives for sawing and hunting.
