Design Your Own Custom Hunting Knives Texas

By Christopher Young


Hunting gear can be easily found at any sports and outdoors store, and you will have lots of weapons available to you. No matter if you are a crossbow kind of person or rather use a rifle to hunt, custom hunting knives Texas are a necessary tool in addition to your primary weapon. You will need it for a variety of reasons, from skinning to protection.

There are two main knife types for hunters. One is a folding version that is compact. A lot of people use these knives to skin and field dress the animal once it is dead. The other main type is a static version, which does not fold at all. These can also be used for field dressing, or for protection. A good knife maker can do one or both of these types for you.

When you go to make your custom knife, you will also need to decide how long you want the blade to be. Decide what you want to use it for, which helps you determine what length you should go with. Keep in mind that while really large blades look cool, they also cost more since more materials are being used, so only get the length you really need.

After these first two big decisions are made, it is time to get into some of the elements that will really help your blade stand out, such as materials. You want a really durable material for a blade, such as carbon steel that sharpens really well. Ceramic is also very sturdy, though many people in the end like stainless steel. It is durable, does not rust, and is lightweight as well.

The handle length is another decision you have to make. Most of this will be based on how large the hand of the recipient is, but extra length can also be added to make the overall length even longer. For folding knives, the length is going to largely depend on how long of a blade you want.

Staying with the handle, the size is not the only thing you need to decide on. You will also want to choose a color or pattern to go on it, as well as what kind of material. Wood and metal are the most common, but a good handle can be made using all kinds of things, even lightweight plastic or the bones of an animal if you want to get really fancy about the finished product.

Personalizing knives goes beyond what they are made of. You can also optionally choose to get an inscription on the handle or blade as well. Some people like to put a name on there, or a short gift message. Some like to get a favorite quote on there, just make sure it is short enough to fit the length of the knife.

You can also choose to have a custom cover made to protect the knife. You also have many choices here, including color and material. Leather is very durable and a popular choice, but canvas and vinyl are also good choices. It is really all a matter of personal taste, and your artisan can help you navigate all the choices to get exactly what you want.
