!±8± The Pros Love Folding Hunting Knives - Here's Why

The thrill of the hunt. Hunters all over the world are chasing this feeling constantly and many want to be the BEST hunter in the land.

Even though most hunting is done with firearms or archery, no hunting adventure would be complete without the best quality hunting knives.

Fixed blade hunting knives might be too big and bulky for your needs so you could be tempted to turn to hunting folding knives.

Before you buy hunting folding knives, remember these three tips from the PROS:

1. When you finally get that PERFECT trophy animal, the real work begins. Skilled hunters know that every second is crucial during this time frame.

This is exactly why hunters have fallen in love with high carbon hunting knives. The last thing that you want to do is mess around with a dull blade in the field while your 10 point buck is rotting in front of your eyes!

High carbon hunting knives will stay sharp for long periods of time with very little effort in regards to sharpening.

2. Want to scare away the most beautiful animal that you've seen all year? One way to do it is to wear a HUGE fixed blade knife in a sheath on your belt.

Of course you don't really want to do this, and that's exactly why folding hunting knives are so great! A well-hidden folding knife will make hardly any noise in your pocket and cut like a razor when you need it to.

3. Don't mess around with automatic folding hunting knives. Automatic folding knives usually have thinner blades than their manual counterparts and will chip or break under pressure.

Instead, try drop-point style hunting knives with thick enough blades to handle some really hard work.
