The Hunter's Knife

The Angler's Logbook x JM Knives

Through years of field testing different knives in the mountains and the bush, we knew exactly what characteristics were essential for our all-round hunting knife.

The blade is a suitable length for minimising unnecessary weight, while maintaining a sharp, robust leading edge for gutting, skinning and field dressing wild game. The blade is made from recycled, vintage leaf springs and has been forged in a coal furnace, resulting in a distinctive aesthetic which blends ruggedness and refinement. The knife blade will patina over time, telling the story of every use of this hand-crafted knife. Alternatively, a quick rub of steel wool over the blade is all that is required to maintain the original appearance of the blade if desired.

The brass bolster seals the end of the apricot timber handle for improved durability. The timber is shaped to provide the user with an ergonomic handle that features contours at either end to mitigate hand slipping. The knife is well balanced, and we are very pleased at how it performs in the field. 

Included with The Hunter's Knife is a handmade leather sheath to protect the knife between use.

Each knife is crafted individually by hand, so there will be minor differences between each one, though the inherent qualities are consistent across each knife.

Hand wash only.
