Best Folding Hunting Knives

Folding hunting knives come in a variety of styles and weights suited for a given hunting purpose, here's the best finds and what they offer.

Typically hunters need to field dress an animal, meaning cut the animal's throat, remove the guts and hang the animal to let the blood out. If the animal is butchered in the field, a heavier hunting knife is required. Tasks involved include removing the skin, saving the head for mounting, and cutting the meat into portable portions, usually by the cooking style i.e. steaks, roasts. A wider blade will help chop. A serrated edge will help saw through bones. A gut hook can help remove the animal's guts, but may require special tools to aid sharpening it. Special blades help remove the skin. All of the following blades come with a sheath.

Best Clip Point Blade Folding Hunting Knives

Clip point blade hunting knives are the most utilitarian and work best with smaller animals when hunting.
