Give A Gift Of 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.

The style of body is the first big decision out of several you will have to make in order to get your own custom knife built. There are two main body styles, folding and static. The folding version is where the blade folds into the handle, making it very small and easy to throw into your pocket or vest. The other style, static, has no folding ability, so it usually goes into a sheath on your belt. Both are great for protection, or skinning animals.

The next big decision is how long you want the blade to be. The length is important, as certain tasks may be harder to perform if your blade is too small or too large. You should also consider cost, as the longer the blade, the higher the cost of the knife will be. This is because a longer blade means more raw materials that need to be used for completion.

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.

You can also have the handle or blade inscribed if you desire. This is a great idea for when you give it as a gift, because personalized gifts are extra thoughtful in the eyes of most people. Some people choose a name, or a short message or quote from their favorite book, but you can put anything as long as it fits.

You can place the order once these decisions are made, or you can go a bit further and buy a cover or sheath for the knife as well. A few decisions must be made for this, such as colors and what material to use. The most popular is leather due to its softness and durability. But you can also get metal, plastic, or even canvas instead. Just ask your knifemaker for help.
