A hunting knife has one job that matters and several that do not. The job that matters is dressing an animal cleanly in poor light with cold hands. That points at a controllable belly, a handle that does not turn when wet, and a sheath that stays shut. Everything on this tag is built around that, in either plain 1095 or layered Damascus.
Gut hooks, bowies and choppers
Ravenhook and Stagcurve are the gut hooks, one Damascus with an olive wood handle, the other 1095 with a stag antler grip, both in belt sheaths. The bowies cover the rest of the field dressing work. Bonecliff is 13 inches overall with a bone handle, a brass guard and a clip point blade. Brasscliff runs 15 inches with a brass double guard and a stacked leather handle. Riverclaw is 14 inches overall with a 9 inch blade, a rosewood handle and a rune cut brass bolster. Emberstack uses a stacked leather washer handle under a clip point fullered blade with an engraved pommel cap. Then the choppers: Curvefang is a kukri in buffalo horn with the karda and chakmak companion set, and Palefang is 16 inches with bone scales and a wolf etched steel pommel.
The full range sits in hunting knives, with the clip points grouped under bowie knives. If you are choosing between shapes, hunting knife against skinning knife settles it.
