Are you in the market for a new hunting knife? Well, let me help a little if I may! I want to talk to you about this knife. It's the Schrade Golden Spike Knife.
Ok why in the world would you listen to me about this knife. Simple, I've used it for over 15 years, and it is my main hunting knife. If I only take one knife with me to the woods, (which usually doesn't happen! lol) then it is this knife. I got it for Christmas from my wife the first year we met! Now over 15 yrs later I still carry this knife! I HONESTLY believe this is the best knife I've ever owned. On my knife page I told you about the first hunting knife I owned, the KA-BAR Little Finn, and it is definately my second choice for a hunting knife. I say second only because after I lost it in the woods one year when I was dragging a big buck out, my girlfriend at the time (wife now) found me this schrade and bought it for me for Christmas. Hey what can I say? She bought me a great knife, so I married her! Well there were a FEW other good reasons too! lol
I can not tell you how many deer, turkey, squirrels, coyotes, bobcats, and various other critters I've skinned and processed with this knife. My step father has a cardboard sharpening wheel that he uses to sharpen all of our knives, and I can tell you between the 440C High Carbon Stainless Steel blade and my step fathers cardboard sharpening wheel I can and have shaved with this knife. ( I done it just to prove a point although I prefer bic disposables, it worked!!!)
It is also a very "beautiful" knife it features a stag handle, and brass hardware. when it is shined up nice, I have to keep it tucked inside my coveralls, because I don't like anything shiney when I'm in the deer woods. If a shiney knife would scare off a deer I'm sure this one would. Very pretty and it also comes with a very nice genuine leather sheath. so at around 27 bucks you CAN NOT go wrong! Just FYI my wife paid a LOT more for mine at the time and at some other unnamed retail store.
