Title: What knife you all toting in the turkey woods?
Post by: alclark2 on March 15, 2015, 12:42:50 PM
I usually use a short sturdy fillet knife for all game birds. I picked up and Opinel Eff. 10 for this year. I haven't used it yet.

I'm kinda a knife knut.. I'll start.

My turkey knife for several years has been a lock blade folding Puma Cub made in West Germany. It has a leather case that goes on my belt. It has breasted well over 100 gobblers and still looks almost new. It holds an edge like all Puma knives I have used.

Buck 476T

3" blade, weighs 3 oz including the sheath, just the right size for a large bird.

Naturally Buck no longer offers it.  :(

This is probably the closest that they currently offer.

For the shear versatility, I usually carry a Leatherman PST multitool on my belt while hunting and go to my old Buck 102 when I am cleaning one at the house. My parents gave me that Buck knife on my 18th birthday over 40 years ago. I can't imagine being without it.

I really like that bird and trout.
Thanks, for posting the customs.
Last year, I breasted two birds with a Tony Bose Hunter. I told him if I ever got my hands on one of his knives I wouldn't let it be a safe queen.

Been carrying this knife for around 40 years.  It has gutted most all of the deer I've killed & cut up all the turkeys I've taken.  I've carried it in my backpack for miles & miles & no telling how many trees I've climbed with it in my backpack.  I don't take in the woods with me turkey hunting but it stays in my hunting bag in the truck waiting to be used.  My uncle bought it for me sometime around 1972-1974.  He's now 84 years old.  It holds a lot of memories.

I'll probably be scoffed at, but I carry a Leatherman...

I have used a number of the little tools on that thing, more than I have used the blade.  It has been used to saw branches for a blind, fix my gun, and it has opened a few beers after a few hunts as well...  Handy little tool to have.
