Kershaw 1085 Diskin Hunter Knife Review

Do you go out hunting a lot? Are you in need of a high-quality, reliable knife? Do you need something that can just as easily dress an animal as it can whittle through wood? If you’re looking for a durable, rugged, and dependable hunting knife, then look no further than the Kershaw 1085 Diskin Hunter. When it comes to hunting knives and equipment, one of the best companies to buy from is Kershaw. For over forty years, the brand has become synonymous with top-rated hunting gear and nowhere is that more evident than in Kershaw knives. The Kershaw 1085 is the perfect example of the company’s commitment to quality, and today I’ll show you why this knife is an indispensable asset to any hunter out in the field.

Kershaw 1085 Diskin Hunter Knife

Features of the Kershaw 1085 Diskin Hunter Knife

Fixed Blade

If you’re someone who likes to camp out under the stars on occasion, or just needs something to whittle some wood or cut the occasional rope, then a folding knife is just fine. For many casual outdoorsmen, a folding blade is the best choice, since you can keep it in your pocket without fear of it poking you. However, for serious outdoorsmen and hunters, you know that the only kind of knife you need is a fixed blade. Since you’ll be slicing through skin and bone, you need a knife that can get the job done without risking it bending or breaking off from the handle. That’s why the Diskin 1085 is a full tang, fixed blade knife, so that even the most discerning hunter can get the reliable performance he needs.

High-Quality Steel

For most hunters, when you find the right equipment, you want to hold onto it for as long as possible. Most guys don’t like to buy new gear every season, so it’s important to find pieces that are built to withstand abuse and will last for a long time. That being said, the Kershaw 1085 Diskin Hunter is made of Sandvik 14C28N Steel, which is highly rated for both strength and reliability. Simply put, this knife will last you years and never rust or break down on you, as long as you keep it clean and sharp.

Textured Handle

If you’ve ever dressed a kill out in the field, you know how messy things can get. Especially if you're inexperienced, you may accidently cut something that you’re not supposed to. The worst thing, though, is to have a blade that doesn’t stay in your hand while you’re slicing and skinning. If the knife slips as you work, you can risk cutting yourself and getting an infection. Kershaw is well aware of this, so the company made the Diskin 1085 handle with textured G-10 scales, so you can get a good grip, even if your knife is wet or covered in blood.

Four-Inch Blade

If you’re new to hunting, you may think that you need as big a blade as possible to help you get the most out of your next kill. However, an experienced hunter knows that the size of the blade doesn’t have to match your confidence, meaning that you don’t need a huge knife to get the job done. In hunting, size does matter, but not in the way that it usually does. The Kershaw Diskin 1085 is perfectly balanced with a 4.4-inch blade so you can cut, chop, and skin with ease. And, with a five-inch handle, you get the perfect length for a variety of jobs out in the field.

Made in the USA

Although the sport of hunting is not exclusive to the United States, there is still something inherently patriotic about going out and killing your next meal or trophy for your wall. To help keep your spirit alive, all Kershaw products are proudly made in the USA, so you can rest assured that you are doing a small part in keeping the American dream alive.

PROS

  • Durable construction
  • High-quality steel
  • Easy to use
  • Optimized weight balance
  • Textured grip for better handling
  • Built to last
  • Made in the USA
  • Sheath included
  • Lightweight

CONS

  • Sheath construction is not as durable as the knife itself
  • For its size, the price is a little high

Highlighted Features

  • Made with Sandvik 14C28N Steel
  • 4.4-inch long blade
  • Five-inch handle
  • 9.5-inches long
  • Textured G10 scales in the handle
  • Ideal balance
  • Weighs only five ounces
  • Sheath included
  • Stonewashed finish
  • Made in America

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What material is the sheath made of?

Is this a full tang blade?

What is the thickness of the blade?

Final Verdict

I’m somewhat new to the hunting game, having only started about six years ago when I moved to the country. However, although I haven’t had as much experience as guys who have been going out since they were kids, I have learned a lot during my time out in the field. I usually hunt with a bow and arrow, but I know that having the right knife by my side makes hunting so much easier, especially if you clean and dress your kill where it lays. When trying to find the perfect knife, I came across the Kershaw 1085 Diskin, and I was instantly hooked. I love the weight, balance, and durability of this blade, and I use it all the time. I have multiple knives that I keep in rotation for various purposes, but the Kershaw 1085 is one of my favorites.

Cold Steel Master Hunter Review

Choosing the right hunting knife can make or break a hunting trip. You want a blade edge that doesn’t need frequent sharpening. You want a handle and hilt configuration that are practical, durable, and lightweight. The grip needs to be comfortable, tough, and non-slip. All these considerations and more have been taken into account with the Cold Steel Master Hunter. This new design sports features that can be appreciated by hunters of every experience and skill level. There are a couple variations and blade styles for new Master Hunter Knives, but all share numerous features in common. Take a look at the premium features of this new model, and prepare to be impressed.

Cold Steel Master Hunter

Features of the Cold Steel Master Hunter

VG-1 San Mai III Blade

Master Hunter Blades are crafted with Cold Steel’s VG-1 Stainless Steel Alloy, and are tri-layered for hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance. VG-1 also has a higher carbon rating (1%), and the blade is flat-ground to a razor edge. What this means to hunters is it is a strong, dependable blade that will require less sharpening and prove more reliable than just about any other blade on the market. The standard model drop-point blade makes an ideal knife for dressing game in the field without fear of breakage.

Kray-ex Grip

Designed with hunters in mind, the Master Hunter’s grip is made out of shock-absorbent Kray-ex, a slightly tacky feeling material with a deep-checkered surface. This makes for a grip that is far less likely to slip during use. No matter how wet or bloody your hands get out in the field, the Master Hunter rests securely in your grip. To top it all off, Kray-ex was specially developed not to crack, rot, splinter, shrink, mildew, and it is impervious to even the most severe weather conditions. The end result is a knife dependable in all circumstances.

Conceal-ex Sheath

Every Master Hunter knife comes with a durable and lightweight Conceal-ex sheath. Designed to fit any belt size, these sheaths not only protect your investment in your knife, but they can be worn all day without fatiguing. They are abrasion and puncture resistant, and use a strong polymer casing to protect your blade from the elements when not in use. The Master Hunter is meant to be a grab-and-go knife, and its sheath reflects that intended design in both form and function.

Guthook (Master Hunter Plus only)

For hunters who want to make short work of dressing game, the Master Hunter can also be ordered with an optional gut-hook on the reverse side of the blade. This makes the bisection of the abdomen on most game animals the work of a few short strokes as opposed to the arduous process it can be with a standard blade. The gut hook is every bit as sharp as the blade itself, and possesses all the durability and reliability of the standard Master Hunter.

Cold Steel Guarantee

Cold Steel takes great pride in their products, and they guarantee that all blade designs have been subjected to extreme stress testing. They stand behind their products 100%, and they offer a 30-day return policy on any and all products purchased from them. Their reputation as one of the best makers of blades in the world has been built on their hard work and quality. They want it to mean something when you say you own a Cold Steel product, and they are very good at making sure they uphold that reputation.

PROS

  • Lightweight (6.4 oz) and rides easily and comfortably on any belt.
  • Durable, sharp, low maintenance blade
  • Comfortable, shock absorbent, weather-proof, and non-slip grip
  • Includes heavy duty Conceal-Ex sheath that fits any belt size

CONS

  • Blade length is somewhat short for a hunting knife
  • Gut hook only available with Master Hunter Plus
  • Blade still requires cleaning after each use
  • Plain, bare-bones sheath

Highlighted Features

  • Razor Sharp, Unbelievably Durable VG-1 High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade
  • Near-Indestructible, Non-Slip Kray-Ex Grip
  • Included Super-Durable Conceal-Ex Sheath

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the blade on this knife full-tang?

How well do these knives handle cutting bones when dressing game?

Does the knife need to be sharpened frequently?

Final Verdict

For the money, there is no better value for the modern day sportsman than the Cold Steel Master Hunter. It is well designed, stays sharp for an unbelievably long time, and has a grip that can withstand weather, blood, and wet conditions like no other knife on the market. I would recommend this knife as the first choice for anyone who wants to buy a hunting knife that will last for years to come and still work as well on its hundredth hunting trip as it did on its first. Make the smart hunter’s choice, and order your Cold Steel Master Hunter today.

Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage Knife Review

A good folding knife is like a good co-worker: versatile, safe, and always there when you need it. Every craftsman who works with their hands needs a good folding knife for those unexpected situations where you need a sharp edge or a sturdy lever. Like any tool, you should do some research to make certain that what you are buying will meet your needs without breaking the bank. With a little research, the best choice in pocket folders is easy. In my opinion, you just can’t buy a better pocket folder than Benchmade’s 585 Mini Barrage.

Benchmade is a well known knife manufacturer whose name is synonymous with quality and durability. All their designs are torture-tested to make certain that they will hold up under even the most strenuous of conditions, and they offer both a warranty and free sharpening for life on all their blades. Let’s look at why this pocket folder is the best choice for you.

Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage Knife

Features of the Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage Knife

Blade

The standard model Mini-Barrage comes with a host of blade options. Benchmade offers a black-coated or satin finish drop-point blade which can hold a plain edge or optional serrated edge near the bottom third of the blade. Outdoorsman will love the black coated serrated blade, whereas the plain satin blade offers a durable and attractive everyday folder. All blade options are made of high carbon stainless steel, which means higher tensile strength, a harder edge, and less sharpening.

Grip/Handle

As a quality folder, the 585 Mini Barrage sports a high-quality, near-unbreakable Valox grip encasing stainless steel liners. The textured surface makes safely controlled cuts easy regardless of the grip position. The steel liners give the grip weight and balance in the hand, eliminating that cheap plastic feeling that accompanies many pocket folders. Additionally, the grip hardware itself is set up with minimal tolerances for a tight, high-quality fit. Benchmade also offers two other grip options: a lighter-weight G-10 Aluminum combination grip/handle and a G-10 handle. Both options are available at an additional cost, but as with any investment, having options is always a bonus.

Pocket Clip

A high-quality steel rail melds with the handle via three bolts. The end of the clip turns outward for convenient one handed use. Too many pocket folders have a cheap or flimsy pocket clip that doesn’t maintain a slim profile or ride well in a pocket. This is definitely not the case with the Benchmade 585 Mini-Barrage. Drawing the knife from a pocket is effortless, and putting it away is just as easy.

Mechanism

When it comes to pocket folders, there are few better mechanisms than Benchmade’s AXIS-Assist. With a flick of the wrist and a little help from a thumb bolt, the blade locks into position with a satisfying snap. Closing the blade is a matter of sliding the locking bolt back and using the thumbolt to press the blade safely into a closed position.

PROS

  • High quality construction and materials
  • Convenient pocket clip
  • One-handed AXIS-Assist opening mechanism
  • Optional finishes and plain or serrated blade

CONS

  • Handle is not rubberized
  • Base model blades may require more frequent sharpening
  • Opening mechanism may need calibrating
  • Open back liners collect dust and pocket debris

Highlighted Features

  • High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade
  • One-Handed Operation
  • Convenient Pocket Clip

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the Benchmade 585 Mini-Barrage legal to own/carry in California?

Does it come with a warranty

Can you open the knife by pressing the AXIS lock down?

Is this knife spring assisted?

Is the blade shorter than the legal length for a pocket knife in most states?

The Final Verdict

All things considered, the Benchmade 585 Mini Barrage is the best pocket folder knife on the market for the money. In addition to high-quality construction, excellent durability, and a resilient edge, this knife costs far less than many similar knives. The convenience and form factor are key considerations, but it is the comfort and ease-of-use that really make this knife stand out. A light duty knife that is built for heavy use is always a good investment, and the 585 Mini-Barrage fits the bill nicely. Order one for yourself as a daily use knife, or pick one up to keep handy for those occasions when you need a strong, sharp blade to get the job done.

Spyderco Bushcraft G-10 PlainEdge Knife Review
 
 

Are you into camping, hunting, or another outdoor activity like hiking or fishing? People go outside for a variety of reasons. One tool you should always take with you on any outdoor adventure is a good knife. Knives can be used to cut, chop, hammer, or dig. If you are faced with a survival situation, having a good knife can boost your chances of living through it.

 

While browsing through knives on the internet, I came across a fantastic knife that everyone can appreciate. It’s the Spyderco Bushcraft G-10 PlainEdge Knife. This awesome knife has the features, size, and materials that make it perfect for all outdoors people. I like this knife so much, I felt compelled to write a review article to let others know about it.

 
Spyderco Bushcraft G-10 PlainEdge Knife

Spyderco Bushcraft G-10 PlainEdge Knife Features

Superior Materials

Bushcraft knives are made to be an all-purpose survival tool in the wilderness. For this reason, knife material is not the usual stainless steel. Instead, Spyderco uses a high-carbon 0-1 tool steel to forge the full tang knife. High carbon steel keeps an edge better than stainless steel, and sharpens much easier as well.

For handle material, this knife has black G-10. G-10 is made from fiberglass resin and cloth that is compressed and baked. This makes a lightweight, hard and strong material that can be checkered for grip. The resulting black finished handle is durable and great looking. Brass pins are used to hold it all together. This knife has the best available materials used in its construction.

 
1

Fixed Blade

When it comes to long term use and abuse, fixed blade knives are the way to go. Folding knives tend to come apart when used for prying or chopping. There are no moving parts on a fixed blade knife to rust together or wear out. When your life is on the line, you want a fixed blade knife like the Bushcraft G-10 from Spyderco.

1

Plain Edge Blade

The best all-around blade for usefulness is a plain edged blade. Serrated blades are limited to uses like cutting rope or sinews, and are much more difficult to sharpen. Processing game and most other survival activities are best served with a plain edge. Spyderco recognizes this fact, so this knife has a plain edge blade with a Scandinavian grind. This grind uses a medium-sized bevel on each side of the blade, which is the easiest to sharpen in the field.

 

Perfect Size

The handle on this knife is 4.65 inches and the blade is 4.10 inches long. That brings the overall length to 8.75 inches total. The perfect size blade for cutting, slicing, and chopping is about 4 inches, so Spyderco got the size of this knife just right. At a weight of 7.8 ounces, this knife won’t weigh you down either.

 

Sheath Included

Anytime you buy a fixed-blade knife, I recommend that you get a sheath with it. Don’t tell yourself you’ll get it later. This knife comes with a beautiful black leather sheath nicely held together by six stainless steel grommets. A knife of this quality deserves a great sheath, and Spyderco delivers. When you receive this knife, it’s ready to go in your pack or on your belt to use right away.

Yes, the sheath works for right and left-handed people.

Where is the steel used in this knife from?

The steel in this knife is 0-1 tool steel from the USA.

Final Verdict

Contrary to popular belief, a true survival knife is not the one carried by Rambo. Modern survival experts have developed Bushcraft knives for real-life survival situations. The size, weight, and materials used in these knives make them far better performers than a massive 14-inch “survival knife.”

For true survival activities like game processing, chopping, whittling, cutting and slicing, a Bushcraft knife is the way to go. If you’re interested in getting a Bushcraft knife to add to your outdoor gear, the Spyderco Bushcraft G-10 PlainEdge Knife is one of the best in the world.

Schrade SCHF9 Extreme Survival Knife Features

High-Carbon Steel

The high-carbon steel blade is ideal for any weather conditions and to have a durable knife when you’re in the elements. Knowing that you have a trusted survival knife with you will help put you at ease. You won’t have to worry about the knife snapping while you’re cutting wood or any fibers.

Kraton Handle

The Kraton Handle is ideal for a proper and secure grip on the knife. It has a rubber coating so you don’t hurt your hands while you’re using the knife to cut through any material. The Kraton handle is one of the best ways to hold the knife, giving you the maximum amount of comfort while you’re using it. You’ll be happy with the Kraton handle while you’re cutting any wood. It’s one of the best handles on the market for a survival knife.

 

Easy to Carry

The knife isn’t too big, so you don’t have to worry about the knife being a burden while you’re walking around with it. That being said, it is also easy to use and control while you’re cutting with the knife. The whole knife is about a foot long, so you can holster it on your belt and keep it out of the path of your legs. The total length of the knife allows you to get the maximum torque for cutting through any material.

 

Lightweight

The total weight of the knife is under a pound, so you’re not exerting any extra energy carrying the knife in your hand. Since it’s lightweight, you can maneuver around with the knife easier than with other survival knives. If you don’t like using knives that are bulky or difficult to maneuver, this is the right knife for you. You won’t feel the knife while you’re walking around with it on your hip, which means you can move around faster than with other knives.

 

Nylon Sheath

The nylon sheath is ideal for protecting your knife when you’re not using it. The nylon is more durable than other material because of the way the stitching holds it together. The nylon sheath provides a convenient place to keep your knife on your belt and to protect yourself while you’re walking with it. The knife won’t cut through the nylon, which helps keep it together longer than other sheaths. The nylon sheath is the ideal way to carry a knife with you.

Today I’ll be talking about this fantastic device and how it can become your best friend out in the field or working at home.

Benchmade Bushcrafter Knife

Benchmade Bushcrafter Knife Features

When looking for the best knife, there are certain things that you need to keep in mind when making your decision. The most important components of any knife are the blade, handle, sheath, and the size. Here is how the Benchmade Bushcrafter stacks up in each of those categories.

 

Blade

The quality of a knife is measured in its blade. If you don’t have a strong, sharp, blade for your knife, then you might as well be cutting with a spoon. The Benchmade Bushcrafter blade is made of high-quality S30V Stainless Steel, which will last you a lifetime, provided that you take care of it and keep it sharp. The blade is almost 4.5 inches long and comes with a polished finish.

 

Handle

When using your knife, you want it to feel comfortable in your hand as you’re working. You don’t want to have to stop every so often because your hand is cramping up. The Benchmade Bushcrafter has a durable and comfortable handle that is hand-made and is contoured to give you a better grip. The high-quality G10 handle material is held together by pressed titanium tubing with a vulcanized rubber spacer to keep everything in place. The tubing also makes the knife more lightweight and gives it greater balance in your hand.

 

Sheath

When not using your knife, you need to make sure that it is well protected and will not accidentally cut someone. The Benchmade Bushcrafter Knife comes with a high-quality, durable Buckskin leather sheath. The sheath comes with a metal D-Ring and a strap so you can attach it to your belt and have easy access to the knife. The sheath also has a flint rod loop, so you can carry your favorite Ferro rod with you wherever you go.

 

Size

If you want a knife that is useful in a wide variety of applications, then you want a model that is not too large and bulky. While a huge bowie knife may look imposing, it is far from practical. The Benchmade Bushcrafter Knife is the perfect size and weight for almost any task. Whether it’s wood carving or animal skinning, you can do it all with this versatile piece of equipment. The knife itself weighs about twelve ounces, and the total length is 9.2 inches.

Highlighted Features

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. Where exactly is this knife made?

A. According to Benchmade, the Bushcrafter knife is made in Oregon City, OR.

Q. How thick is the blade itself?

A. The thickness of the blade is 41mm or .16 inches. This is a little thicker than some other knives, but it’s perfect for bush crafting and wood carving.

 

Q. How big is the flint rod loop? What size Ferro rod can I use?

A. The loop is pretty small, so I would recommend a ⅜ inch rod. However, since it’s made of buckskin, you can probably get a larger size, like a half-inch rod into it too. Just know that a larger flint will stretch the leather out, so you’ll need to keep using the bigger size.

 

Final Verdict

I’m an outdoorsman, and I love to work with my hands. Whenever I go camping, I always keep a knife by my side at all times. Whether I’m whittling a stick to pass the time or making something useful, the right knife is indispensable. That’s why I love the Benchmade Bushcrafter.

The Benchmade brand has always been synonymous with quality, and this knife is no exception. I love the size, weight, and feel of the knife in my hand, and I can work with it for hours and never develop a cramp or blisters. Some people may complain about the color or the contour, but for me, it works like a dream. I’ve used this knife numerous times out in the field, and I don’t think I’ll ever get another one.
