Good day all
This is a quick review post of a knife I recently was given by a good friend of mine, I've been carrying it for about a week now and I am very impressed with it, it is the "Jack Pyke 3.5 inch skinning knife" the blade is 440 stainless which is nice to try seeing as all my other blades are carbon steel of some sort, there is the thing that stainless doesn’t sharpen as well as carbon but this blade has a very fine edge so it sharpens well.
The blade is black coated with a nice belly to the blade, making it ideal for the sweeping cut strokes often used in skinning, it carves well and has a very good strong point which can be used to pierce and stab to get under the skin of your game/ quarry but the point is fine enough it can be used for fine slices such as gutting.
Other good features are the back of the blade is very good for striking a fire steel, the sheath is a hard plastic with a simple button lock, just press the button and pull the knife out, the handle is made of wooden scales help on with two allen key bolts and is very comfortable to hold and use.
It came on a piece of paracord and is designed be worn as a neck knife but I’ve changed the piece of paracord to a longer piece so I can wear it across my chest like a haversack or shoulder bag, this means I can hide it under my arm and keep it concealed.
All in all I think this is a very good knife and I will now be carrying this whenever I go out as a back-up knife instead of my Opinel #8 or BG folding scout.
Thank you all for supporting me
God Bless
Stay safe
