Survival Need

A hunting knife is basically a knife that is used during hunting, usually to prepare the game to be used as food, skinning the animal, and cutting up the meat. It is technically different from a hunting dagger which is used to kill wild game. Some hunting knives are adapted for other uses in the wild, such as a camp knife, which hunters may use as machetes or hatchets when these particular tools are not available. Hunting knives are often designed for cutting, rather than stabbing.

These knives usually have a single sharpened edge, with the blade slightly curved on most models. Some hunting knives may have a blade that has both a curved portion for skinning, and a straight portion that can be used for cutting slices of meat. Some hunting knife blades even incorporate a guthook. Most hunting knives that are designed as “Skinners” have a rounded point designed not to damage the skin as it is being removed. Most American designs are based on a smaller version of the very popular Bowie knife.
