Wouldn't go buying an expensive knife for that purpose!! Wild hunter in Athlone is selling a nice little knife, very sharp blade with black plastic handle for a tenner! Got one couple a years ago and still going strong! No sign of any bluntness yet, and if i ever lose it i won't be too put out!!

Have one of these for a year now it's a great knife I use it for all my field work as well as preparing my game meat and it's heavy enough to do a bit of chopping aswell if needed.

If you want something to lop off vermin tails you should look at a trauma shears. It cuts through ribs no problem.

Can't go wrong with an opinel. Under a tenner, easy to sharpen and probably the best blade lock out there.

Simple boning knife would do.

Whatever the choice, I always recommend a knife that does not fold and has a rubber grip for the field.

+ 1.

Without breaking the bank the Muela range are good for the money. Between €18 -€50. Fixed blades with sheaths, rubber gripped handles, strong, sturdy, sharp, and come in a variety of shapes, and designs.

Hi,

Heinnie haynes is a UK based site. I've ordered from them and the delivery is quick and the products are excellent. Can recommend them enough.

Best knife I ever had was a Wolstenhulme Bowie 6". Used it from 1983 up until a couple of years ago, when I realised what I had and retired it. Only once did I ever need the full 6" but what the heck!
Replaced it with a Buck 6" Bowie, which is some knife.
You don't need these type of knives for pottering around, but they are fun and PDQ when it comes to the gritty stuff.
