Turkey hunting knives

[HillclimberWV]

HillclimberWV:  That Esse as a backup for big game hunts, I'd say yes. You'll never feel it, it adds zero weight. But I wouldn't use it as a primary field dresser. Some people do. I've seen guys regrind the blade to create a more favorable shape for break down. You don't need size it's all in the steel they say and I like Esses's carbon steel. But the handle you might not like. It doesnt slip for my purposes but you might find it "hotspoty" during a field dress/breakdown/ skinning etc. Another important benefit is the price, Benchmade came up with a similar type but it cost WAY more!

Thank you for opinion. It has definitely answered my questions.

Usually a Benchmade Osborne or Grizzly Creek.

In the truck, I keep several Outdoor Edge razorlites and a bunch of replacement blades.

To say I've been less than impressed by the knife offerings by the NWTF through the years is an understatment. I know they're  trying to fundraise but wow there has been a lot of junky imports sporting the NWTF branding. There have been exceptions however. Here's one: American made Kershaw linerlock auto assist flipper. It's just fun to play with while you're waiting for the season to start!

My go-to for a long, long time.

But I got a Spyderco Delica last year.  DANG, SON !!!!!!!!!!!!!   I have never in my life seen a knife as sharp from the factory.  It is NUTS !!!!  Almost breast out a gobbler by showing the knife to it.

Same one has I do for deer, Havalon Piranta. Say what you want but those things are razor sharp. I

Hands down the best knife I have found for skinning everything with fur or feathers.

Carry two spring and fall seasons: Case mini Finn Hunter fixed blade and a Havalon.

I carry the same knife for deer and turkeys. A Buck folding knife. Nothing special, just a reliable sharp knife.
