Design Your Own Custom Hunting Knives Texas

By Christopher Young


Go into any decent sporting goods store, and you will find a whole lot of hunting gear, including weapons to kill your prey. You can choose a cross bow or rifle, but either way, you will also need a good knife. Custom hunting knives Texas are a necessity for any hunting trip, and make a great gift for your fellow hunters that lets them know how you care.

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.

There are some optional things you can do as well, such as an inscription. Your name of the name of the person you are gifting it to can all be used. Or you can make it more personal with a message or favorite quote. As long as it fits the length of the blade or handle, you can get it inscribed for a more personal look.

Another option is to have a custom cover made, which is sometimes called a sheath. Like the rest of the knife, you will have lots of options, including material, colors and more. Leather works really well and lasts a long time, but plastic such as vinyl or even heavy canvas are also great, affordable options. Ask your artisan and they will point you in the right direction.
