Willie Duley from NZ Hunter Adventures is back for the season finale of Hunting & Fishing NZ “Tip of the Trip” and goes through the process of selecting the ideal hunting knife and the key things you're going to need to consider like the purpose in relation to size and weight, what shape of blade suits your intended use, the blade material and finally what type of handle you prefer.
Given most of our game animals in New Zealand are small to medium-sized aside from our Wapiti sambar and larger red deer, the crew tend to opt for a compact folding knife with a versatile drop point that can be stowed away safely until they need it. The team find it very hard to look past the trusty Gerber Gator Drop Point Folder Knife 154cm stainless steel blade.
For a lightweight mountain hunts when their knives are mostly cheese cutters, breaking down just one or two animals a trip, they opt for Gerber Gator Clip Point Folder Knife or the Gerber LST Drop Point Folder Knife, both are still well and truly capable of butchering game animals.
Following on from the release of the Gerber Vital Folder series, with the razor sharp exchangeable surgical type blades. Gerber has since produced two new models the Gerber EBS series which features three exchangeable task specific blades, a four-inch blade for removing back straps, a three-inch blade for caping and breakdown, and a three-inch multi-purpose serrated blade for tendons and joints and also the Gerber Dual Tool System DTS Folding Knife which has two blades a primary blade for all your main skinning and cutting jobs and a smaller serrated tendon blade that folds out of the handle base for cutting through tendons and joints.
To try any of these knives out for yourself head on down to your local Hunting & Fishing NZ store and have a chat with our hunting experts.
