Hunting knife
(From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
A hunting
knife is a knife
used during hunting.
Description
Hunters do not use hunting knives to
kill game.
Some other weapon or device, like a
bow,
rifle,
or snare,
is used for the actual killing.
Instead, hunting knives are used for
preparing the game to be used as food: skinning
the animal and cutting up the meat.
Hunting knives are often adapted for
other
uses in the wild;
hunters may use them as machetes
or hatchets
when those specific tools are not available. In this case, their
function is similar to a
survival knife.
Design
Hunting knives are traditionally
designed
for cutting rather than stabbing, and have only one sharpened edge. The
blade is slightly curved, and some hunting knives may have a blade that
has both a curved portion for skinning,
and a straight portion for cutting slices of meat.
Examples
Hunting knives include the Bowie knife,
the puukko,
and the Sharpfinger.
