The Jesse Jarosz Globetrotter Knife

Knives of Alaska

Field & Stream had a great deal yesterday on several knives including this one.  It's a camp knife from Knives of Alaska. It was hard to pass up at 40% off. I prefer a fixed blade knife with a full tang, they are practically indestructible.

The Bush Camp Knife is a large 10-1/2" long, full-tang, .14" thick knife with a 6" drop-point blade. The handle is our black rubberized Suregrip. The knife is designed for rugged bush camp field-dressing and cook shack duties.

Special Features

Simple straight-forward design provides user with a practical knife large enough for any outdoor camp and field-dressing task. The blade steel features our "hunter's non-glare matte finish".

My Knife

You may remember my post about my Ka Bar knife last month.  I had the opportunity to use it on two Doe so far this year and the first thing people say is "wow, that's a big knife". The second thing they all say is "man that's razor sharp".

This knife might be a little over kill for gutting a deer, but nobody ever accused me of doing anything halfway.  If I need a sharp knife it's in my bag, I never have to go home and get a bigger knife.  Ka Bar, it's not just for the zombie apocalypse baby.

That's A Knife, Ka-Bar

I have always liked knives.  Pocket knives, and hunting knives were my favorite types, Swiss Army and Buck being my go to blades of choice. I never owned a Ka-Bar until recently. Here are some thoughts about the legendary knife.

Cost $107.77
Blade Length 7'' overall length 11''
Weight .70lbs
100% Bad Ass

It's made in the USA, but the leather sheath is made in Mexico.  The knife comes very sharp from the factory and will hold that edge if you need to cut down a tree with it.  I applied a coating of snow seal to the sheath which protects the leather.  With this knife, I feel ready for the zombie Apocalypse.
