Gut Hook Knifes

[redarrow]

Been considering a new knife. Something with a gut hook for deer.Made in the USA is more important than brand although I do like Buck knives. They make a nice folder that I like. Any suggestions.Preferably under 100 bucks.

Browning has some good multi blade knives, not sure where they are made.

They do make a dandy looking gut hook sheath knife. Good price too. Thanks

before you buy, check out a knife forum and see if you have any knife makers in your area, you might just find a bargin and have a one of a kind. there is a lot of home shop guys out there and they make some outstanding knifes and for a decent price

I like the Buck Vanguard better than any other knife I've ever used for cleaning/dressing deer.  I have the one with the black rubber handle.  It fits the hand very well, and it's easy to hold onto, in spite of fat, blood, or water.  I've tried to like other knives better, including a nice Bark River Knife and Tool model, but the handle is just right on the Vanguard.  The Bark River Knife and Tool will take a superior edge that lasts longer, but the Buck Vanguard's handle is perfect for my hand, and I like sharpening knives anyway.

The Buck Vanguard is also available in a "Zipper" gut hook model, with either a black rubber or wooden handle.

I'm not a big gut hook fan. My knife of choice are case knives.

This has been my first season using the Havalon Piranta knife.  It is small and looks a bit flimsy, but when it comes to opening up game... wow!  I have dressed 1 feral hog and 4 deer since so far this year with it and have yet to change the replaceable blade.  I use a sturdy CRKT half serated folder to open the chest cavity.  Sharpened with my lansky sharpener, that thing goes through rib bones with ease.

For a gut hook I don't think you can beat the Wyoming skinner. Best part when it gets dull(wich takes a while) you just replace the blade. I never liked sherpening a gut hook. Then my knife of choice for gutting duties is a bark river little creek or my cold steel mini pendelton. Two totally different price ranges but both great knives.

I just picked up one of these from Real Avid. I haven't got the chance to use it yet but I'm hoping to soon. They recently had a deal going for 25 bucks but I'm not sure if that is still going on.

forgot to mention but, I'm not sure if they are made in America. Sorry, I just read that part.

See if you can find a Browning model 614. I have one and it is awesome. It is a fixed blade but folds to a "T" as well. They flat work

The only gut hook knife I have is a Kershaw.  It works really well, and I don't think it's very expensive...I got it as a gift, so I'm not sure.  According to the Wiki, it could've been made in either Oregon, Japan, or China.

If you haven't purchased anything yet take a look at the Buck Alpha Hunter with gut hook and rosewood handles. Holds an edge forever, but is easy to resharpen as well.

Let me tell you something else I use. The Stanley folding razor knife!!! You can buy a pack of gut hook blades. 6 for about $3.00 at Walmart . They work awesome for ripping the hide off deer hogs and small game.
