Long hunter knife
Aug 22^nd, 2011 at 8:33am

So I have been looking for a knife with these details some where around the $50-100 range and so far the only thing I have found is the BHK Pathfinder which is much more expensive.

Pretty much the main details I am looking for are wooden handles (or wood like micarta), 10in over all, carbon steel blade, scandi grind, good thich blade, and leather sheath.

Mainly I am looking for some kind of knife that would have been used in the 1700s. If you know any good knife producers who make older style knives for a reasonable price please post here. Thanks in advance.

i've heard good things about them. although most say that the fit and finish is a little lacking. ahhh if only i ad a credit card. or seeing what i would blow all my money on i guess i probably shouldn't.....

Atlanta Cutlery used to sell colonial pattern knives with a forged finish still on them. Only the edges had been polished and ground. The blades were quite thin, less than 1/16 inch. They had wooden handles with what I think were carbon steel pins. As cutters, they were quite nice. You might also check out Koyote Knives.

Don't make the mistake of thinking carbon steel is better than stainless. Each has their advantages.

looking through the site, I found this knife. For a Damascus Steel knife, it's really cheap. It would definitely be a good buy. It's in your price range, but it's a little longer than you wanted.

Hudson bay knife are pretty good for hunting.But if you want reasonable price knife I think you should prefer using Frost Morakniv knife.It is a high quality knife at a reasonable price.It is a knife for most general backpacking and camping conditions,I definitely recommend the Frost Morakniv.It is the best all-round survival knife.

...in your opinion.
