Rubber – Rubber is exactly as it sounds and delivers a excellent deal with material especially when sweat and wet conditions come into play. Just be aware that if other components are present quite generally such as dirt and sand the knife is at danger of fast degradation. Survival knives with rubber are fantastic when the quality of the rubber stays intact. After it starts to fade it can turn out to be difficult to deal with and eventually pretty much useless. There have been a couple of really minor difficulties with the Prodigy that Amazon reviewers pointed out. A single consumer wrote that the sheath could have a tiny much less nylon, which would make it lighter overall. An additional user felt that the manage was a bit on the quick side. The knife had a really excellent edge, "shaving sharp" as they say."-Buzzman

Edge angles can vary from ten degrees to 40 degrees, but most are between 15 degrees (filet knives) and 30 degrees (survival knives). Distinctive angles are suited for different tasks. What is appropriate in the kitchen will not do for camping. Twenty degrees is about ideal for kitchen knives, twenty two degrees is great for pocket knives, and twenty 5 degrees offers a lengthy lasting edge to a camp knife. A fantastic beginning point is to duplicate the angle the maker place on the blade. Edge angle is hard to measure immediately after the reality, but is pretty uncomplicated to control when sharpening by controlling the angle between the stone and the blade.

Thanks to its beefy finger-grooved manage, this knife (which, like the Browning above, was developed by legendary knifemaker Russ Kommer) will make short work of skinning and quartering, but the clip point makes gutting a small trickier than with a drop point. (A drop-point model is offered, but it has a gut hook, which I'm not a fan of.) The blade is rather straightforward to sharpen, and the higher-good quality nylon sheath has a pocket for a sharpening stone and a length of 550 paracord incorporated into it.

The only thing that worried us about the knife was the grip. Rubber grips, in our knowledge, tend to be much less-than-favorable when elbow deep in blood and guts. They slip and slide in your hand and, just as typically as not, you finish up nicking your self when the blade slips. The recommended price tag for this blade is generally ideal about $40, but it can be bought for just over $34, which includes absolutely free shipping, at Amazon The blade is also offered at Sears, but without the need of the luxury of free of charge shipping, for $26.

The ergonomics of the HuntsPoint are quite excellent, and the slight drop-point blade is just the suitable size and shape for skinning, gutting, and quartering however, the blade requires frequent resharpening. The rosewood manage scales come to be a small slippery when wet, and will be extra so when bloody. The black leather sheath looks nice, but the snapped retaining strap doesn't do a good job of holding the knife in location. Beach grilling with the Griptillian.
