Choices For Custom Hunting Knives Texas

By Christopher Young


Any sporting goods store has a ton of different hunting weapons to buy, from rifles to bows and arrows. But the one weapon that every hunter needs, no matter what their primary weapon of choice is, is a knife. Instead of settling for a mass produced one that you purchased at the store, you can instead get custom hunting knives Texas made just for you.

When you choose to make a custom knife, you get to choose from two main body styles. The first is a folding one, in which the blade literally folds into the handle to make it small and compact. The other main type is a static blade, where there is no folding, so the blade is usually larger and not hollow at all. They are great for field dressing your prey.

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.

Speaking of materials, that is the next big decision you have to make. There are many materials to choose from. One of the most popular is stainless steel, because it is lightweight and relatively inexpensive compared to other options. Plus, it does not rust, so it can be used in any type of weather. You can also choose ceramic, carbon steel, or other special materials as well.

Now you must decide on how long your handle is going to be. It should be comfortable in your hand, but not so big you cannot grip it. If this is a gift, think about the size of that person's hand instead, to ensure that the completed item feels good and safe in their palm and they have no issues using it.

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.

There are some optional things you can do as well, such as an inscription. Your name of the name of the person you are gifting it to can all be used. Or you can make it more personal with a message or favorite quote. As long as it fits the length of the blade or handle, you can get it inscribed for a more personal look.

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.
