The best knives. The best knives in Russia and the world
One of the indispensable attributes of every hunter is a knife. For many, it is a subject of attention and even pride; its choice is approached with the utmost care.
For correct selection hunting knife, you need to decide on how to use it during hunting. If we exclude extreme situations, like hand-to-hand combat, for example with a hare, then a knife during hunting is used to finish off a wounded animal, for skinning game, for camping, tourism and household kitchen purposes. In a good way, four different ones would be suitable for all this, in the first case it is better to use something like a dagger, in the second a small convenient knife with a long curve like a drop point, for kitchen purposes any small one with a thin blade, and for hiking In the forest, on the contrary, a large survivalist or army cleaver.
Because of all this, the best blades for hunting are either the best representatives of highly specialized blades, or partially universal ones with a successful combination of characteristics, since, unfortunately, an absolutely universal knife for hunting does not yet exist. While it is convenient to cut through thickets and chop firewood, it is not very suitable for peeling potatoes or skinning. Therefore, when choosing a knife, the hunter must assume what kind of hunting he will have to do, a taiga search, an ambush for a duck or a command for a large animal, and what he will have to do with it. It is often better to have several of them than none at all.
We present a rating of ten knives that are very popular, enjoy well-deserved respect and, in the opinion of most hunters, perform well when used. This includes both types of knives, which represent a certain shape and concept, manufactured by many manufacturers, and individual models, which are a successful individual development, based on careful calculation and analysis, from a specific manufacturer.

Weapons are constantly evolving, thanks to new technologies improved models appear. Knives are no exception; they have stood the test of time. History knows many different forms of knives, and many of them are not as simple as they seem at first glance.
“Kukri”, the symbol of the people of Nepal, became famous thanks to the Gurkha regiments. Nepalese warriors supported the British in gaining control of India during the Indian Mutiny of 1857, using their knife skills in close combat. Combat Valor The Gurkha soldiers gave them a reputation as formidable and fearless warriors, and thanks to their support of British troops, official Nepalese regiments were formed in the English army. The Gurkhas and their knives became so famous that the British used posters of warriors sharpening their famous knives as propaganda to instill fear in the Argentine army during the Falklands conflict. Today, soldiers of the Gurkha regiments continue to carry a “kukri” knife with them even after retirement.
Kukri knives were usually 40-46 cm long and were more like a machete, as they performed a chopping function. From an ordinary farming tool of the Himalayans, the knife turned into a weapon. An interesting feature is considered to be a groove near the handle, which directed the victim’s blood in the opposite direction, as a result the hand remained dry. How bigger size the knife was used in sacrifices, the more luck and goodness there will be in the village. If an animal's head is cut off in one motion, then this great luck.
9. Dagger for blocking blows (Men-gosh)
During the 16th and 17th centuries, when firearms began to appear, bladed weapons became impractical. Light swords, rapiers, have replaced heavy swords knights. Shields also became unnecessary and were replaced with daggers for blocking blows (men-gosh). The talented fighter masterfully used men-gosh and the shield hindered him. In addition, the dagger not only protected, but was also a weapon in itself. Over time, the daggers themselves and the skill of using them improved and became more complex.
There were many different types of men-gosh, but they were all designed to provide security, block enemy blows and inflict unexpected blows. The handle was supposed to protect the warrior's hand. For example, the “sword breaker” dagger had serrations along the blade that could snag an opponent’s rapier and tear it out of his hands. Another type was the “trident”, with a special mechanism, after pressing which the blade tripled.
The jambiya is a wide, double-edged knife that was worn as a symbol of belonging to a certain social class of the Yemeni population. Some men said they would rather die than let anyone see them without a dagger. Teenage boys receive their first dagger if they undergo circumcision. Nowadays jambia are used more as exhibits, but back in the 60s it was a formidable weapon. Yemeni warriors held their daggers with the point down and aimed at the base of the enemy's neck in order to rip open his chest in one motion.
Some knives are often decorated with gold. Islam, Yemen's leading religion, prohibits men from wearing gold jewelry, but since the jambiya is a weapon, it is considered an exception. The dagger handles are made not only from precious metals, but also from rhinoceros horns, which provokes poaching. Every year, 1,500 rhinoceroses are killed in Yemen. Knife handles are made from horn, and the remains go abroad to Asian countries as materials for alternative medicine.
Although sai is associated with Japanese martial art, it originated during the Ming Dynasty and was brought to Okinawa from China. This piercing weapon looks like a stiletto without cutting edges. The saya blade is either round or hexagonal with a sharp tip. They used it to block blows from European “man-gosh” weapons. Sai was used to block blows Japanese sword"katana". Besides, experienced master A Saiyutsu could easily distract the enemy's attention with its help and even strike them. When Okinawa came under the influence of the Japanese government, metallic tools and weapons required special permission. The craft of sai was prohibited and went into the shadows. Even today, Saiyutsu classes do not like noise around them, and the use of weapons in sparring is prohibited.
The trench knife was especially common during the First and Second World Wars. In close combat, the Germans used the Nakampfmesser combat knife, and the British used their domestic knives. The US military produced several types of trench knives. Mark 1 had a flat surface with a double-sided blade, a brass or bronze handle with brass knuckles and spikes, which can also injure the enemy. Knives were used by soldiers who did not have a bayonet in their arsenal, but not only in battle, but also in everyday life.
The "Kris", a Javanese dagger, looks like both a weapon and a ritual blade. It was believed that he had magical properties.

The twisting blade of the knife resembles a snake from mythology, and the patterns with which the knife is decorated were perceived as a talisman. The alloy of the knife resembled Damascus steel in composition, and the patterns applied by the blacksmith protected the knife and its owner from all sorts of troubles.
4. Misericord (“Blade of Mercy”)
In the 14th century, the misericord blade became popular among French knights - a long thin dagger that easily passed between the plates of armor. It was practically useless in battle; it was not even equipped with special protection on the handle. It was used to finish off the enemy. The name of the dagger comes from Latin words"act of mercy" When a knight was knocked off his horse and he was seriously wounded, to alleviate his suffering, he was finished off with such a dagger. Many used the dagger to intimidate a wounded knight in order to induce him to surrender or demand a ransom.
The wrist knife was used by the Turkana people of Africa. Local residents believed that domestic animals, such as cows, were a gift from God. Herds of animals often became the cause of inter-tribal conflicts. In addition, each tribe tried to expand its territory. In such conditions, valiant warriors carried spears, shields, different types knives, including a wrist knife. In addition, it was forbidden to kill a fellow tribesman with a spear, so internal disputes were resolved brutally with the help of wrist knives.
It was made of steel or iron, which was heated and shaped by striking stones. Turkana men most often wore such knives on their right hand, although in other tribes they were worn by both men and women. In addition to being a weapon, the knife was also used for other purposes, such as cutting down trees.
The sickle-shaped kuyan from the island of Java was considered a divine gift, a symbol of the harmony of the world and was popular among kings as God's viceroys on Earth. The kuyan was primarily used as a farming tool, but King Kudo Lalin stated that he saw the knife in a vision of the unification of Java. After the vision, he gathered all the blacksmiths and told them about the shape of the mystical knife. The result was a weapon in the shape of the island of Java, with three holes that symbolized the deities of the Hindu religion. After Islam began to dominate the island, weapons underwent a number of changes. Its shape was changed and became similar to the letter “shin”, and instead of three there were already five holes, as a symbol of the five postulates of Islam.
The kila is a ritual dagger that originated in ancient India and later became popular in Tibet, where it was called the phurba.

The triangular blade symbolizes ignorance, greed and aggression. "Kila" was considered a sacred object of shamans, and some of the specimens were made of wood. It was a ritual weapon against evil forces. The shaman poked a dagger into the rice in front of the patient, reciting sutras, driving away illness and evil spirits. It is not surprising that it costs incredible amounts of money at auctions.
