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.

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.

After you decide whether to go for a folding or static knife, you then have to decide how long you want the blade to be. You can go very small, or much larger, depending on what your needs are. The length will help determine the final cost, so keep that in mind as well. The longer the blade, the more material needs to be used, and the higher the cost.

After choosing your blade length, you need to decide what you want that blade to be made out of. Most knives are made out of some sort of metal, though ceramic or even bone might be available as well. Many go with stainless steel because it is cost effective, lightweight, and does not rust. This makes it durable and tough. However, carbon steel is also a popular choice.

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.

The handle is what a lot of people first notice, especially for folding blades. That is why you want an attractive one that is also very durable. To achieve this, choose a color you like, and perhaps also a pattern. The material you use will have to be decided as well. You can choose from hard plastics, wood, metal or even animal bones if you are so inclined.

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.
