From gralloching in the field to boning out the haunches in the larder: without a good hunting knife, nothing works when dealing with game. The blade should be sharp, and the handle should sit securely in your hand even when wet. Here you will find fixed blades such as the Morakniv Companion, folding knives with replaceable blades and sharpeners that keep your blades ready for use.
Gralloching outside, butchering inside
In the field you want a handy knife that you can carry safely on your belt or in your rucksack. A folding knife such as the EKA SwedBlade models is quickly ready, and you simply swap a blunt blade for a new one. The Morakniv Companion with its carbon steel blade is robust and easy to resharpen. A fixed blade has no hinge where dirt can collect, so it is especially quick to clean after gralloching.
Stay sharp, work safely
A blunt knife slips more easily and needs more force. That is why a knife sharpener is worth having, so you can refresh the edge between jobs. The V-Sharp sharpeners work with fixed angles, so even inexperienced hands achieve an even result. A diamond sharpening steel is practical for touching up the blade while you work. Clean your knives thoroughly after use and dry them well.
Frequently asked questions
Which knife is best for gralloching roe deer?
Blades of about 8 to 10 cm have proved their worth, either fixed or as a folding knife with a secure lock. A blade with a rounded tip helps you avoid puncturing the gut when opening the belly.
Carbon steel or stainless steel, which is better?
Carbon steel is very easy to sharpen but needs care so it does not rust. Stainless steel is lower maintenance and therefore the more convenient choice for many hunters.
How do I clean my knife hygienically after gralloching?
Rinse it with hot water and a little washing-up liquid, and on folding knives clean the hinge as well. Then dry it thoroughly. Knives with wooden handles should not go in the dishwasher.
