Choosing the right hunting knife can be a difficult challenge. If you choose wrong you end up with a paperweight that is more likely to be in your "junk drawer" than on your hip when you need it. First ask yourself a few questions: What type of hunting do you do? Do you go after big game or small? Do you trophy hunt or are you a meat hunter? What is the largest animal you envision using the knife on? The smallest? How often do you hunt, are you looking for a knife you can carry when you're not hunting? Seems like a lot of questions but if you don’t know what you want the hunting knife for you will never choose the correct one for your personal preferences!
Folding Vs Fixed Blade
Lets start with the two basic knife styles: fixed blade and folding. Fixed Blade knives is just that, meaning the blade is designed permanently fixed in the open position. Due to this design, this style of knife comes with a sheath, that allows for carrying in a safe manner. These knives are typically stronger than folding knives, because the blade’s material runs through the center of the handle.
There are generally no moving parts with a fixed blade so they are very reliable, one exception in the SOG Hunter Revolverwhich technically is a moving fixed blade that happens to have two knives in one handle. Gerber, Case, Kershaw, and several other knife manufacturers also produce hunting knives that allow the user to swap out blades quickly and easily.
Folding knives have a pivot point and lock mechanism, which allows the blade to close into the handle. These are excellent for the occasional hunter, whom may also want a knife for everyday use. Folding knives are naturally, by design, not as strong as fixed blade knives. However, they are much easier to carry in a pocket or in a small sheath on the belt.
If you are looking for a dedicated hunting knife, I personally would go with a good quality fixed blade. If on the other hand, you are only going to use it on the occasional hunt, go with a folding knife. They will provide you with an knife for multiple uses, rather than just hunting.
