Need a universal knife outdoors. Fixed blade, max. 7 "long, heavy and durable. Any suggestions?
I just lost my knife made from a favorite old German bayonet. Need a replacement. A well balanced knife fixed blade capable of taking a severe beating. I'm considering a Ka-Bar Marine knife, a Buck or Pathfinder woodcutter and 508 meters and Boker Arbolito (expensive!). Any idea or suggestion? El Gaucho Arbolito is $ 130 ... Yikes ...
I had the best luck with Ontario Knife Spec-Plus.

I have a Schrade pocket Kniffen, i cannot find anything where the number of steel, like the 440 or so makes me wonder schrade all use the same number?> If so can someone tell me? and my knife is X-Timer-B
depends on when and where it was probably 440A guess whether this is a couple more years of big business had its own name knife steel - "Schrade Steel could be an example that you can use 440C for several years and then switch to something more than a bunch of best names 440C used for years after he began using 440A, when they could obtain cheaper and had better heat treatment, so he made a good film a few have changed recently to 420 HC blades are still good - can have much to do with heat treatment because the quality of the blades 440A were high and I remember when it used to be underrated as a steel knife Schrade went out of business in 2004 and Taylor is now using the name - most or all of the new knives imported (mainly China), but still assumed to be of good quality

OK, so if you are new to this great sport, which is the first question is going to be? Well A good place to start is with the bow. There is a high quality mass bends out there, most crowded arches are called stick bows, recurve bows and there are also compound bow.
A very important consideration when buying a bow is the draw weight and length, draw, also needs to know if you'll be chasing a compound or recurve, the length of drainage is of great value to this.
Select an arc in which the weight is comfortable for you, its very easy to make the mistake of many and select a bow that is too long fed in the vain hope that it will grow. Archery will result in a style up bad shots and bad habits form that will be hard to break line. Why not ask a local store or shop if you can demo a bow, if possible, as a demonstration of several arches, with different weights, lengths, etc. All things being equal, the individual sense of an arch makes a big difference in the way of shooting.
If you're going to stick the bow, recurve bow, think of a draw in a range 50 to 60 pounds. The starting point is excellent, with plenty of growth, is what might be called the intention of all the weight is achieved most tasks.
If you go to a compound, can think of an arc in the range of 60 to 65 pounds. Normally, if you can handle a recurve bow of a certain weight, compound I should not weight more than 15 pounds more than a recurve bow. If you are selecting a compound bow, find a key with a greater height, which is the distance from the string to the bow riser.
An arch with more lift will be a more forgiving bow. It will enhance your way of errors, both as a height of less elevator. A higher lift will not normally be the fastest bow, but for the new Archer will be a better starting point.
Set what is going to use the bow to the majority. If you want to be rustic with your bow, cedar shafts are the best option. However, if you are in a compound, probably will have to consider whether carbon or aluminum. Typically, the carbides are more durable and lighter resulting in a flatter trajectory.
Aluminum are less expensive and a little more weight, allowing slightly higher kinetic energy. If you're hunting moose or mouse, for example, choose a heavier shaft aluminum. For deer, or Turkey, or even a lighter shaft would be nice, either an ultra-lite aluminum or carbon arrows. If you are shooting long distance, a lighter shaft will help reduce errors in judging distance.
In most cases an arrow work properly tuned. Carbon arrows are more expensive but generally have more stress than aluminum, but aluminum is much cheaper to lose.
