Knives of Alaska

Anybody own or have any experiences with these knives? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

I have the little Bear Cub knife I believe it's called. Good knife, easy to keep sharp (especially when a sharpening steel is handy for those little touch ups). That little knife is great for doing detailed skinning work (like paws, mouth, ears, nose etc.) when a scalpel isn't handy. But the straight edge makes it less ideal for general skinning, I prefer a knife with a curve for that work. But it is strong and light, good for backpacking. Overall, I've only heard good things about Knives of Alaska.

I have the muskrat, Jaeger, bush camp knife (don't ask) and the cub now...Eventually I will own them all. Really good knives, and hard to go wrong with the price.

This pretty well covers my opinion.

I have the cleaver and the caper. My son broke the tip off the caper trying to pry a tooth from a wolfs mouth....doh! The cleaver is hard to sharpen (I find) due to its shape, but man it can chop through an elks pelvis like nothing. I have not used it in 3 years though. Also the sheath was not constructed properly and the cleaver ended up sticking out through the bottom, so I had to rivet it shut with aircraft rivets. Having said all that, they really are very good quality knives

I have about 6 now including their fillet knife. I had a problem once with a knife, their gut hook model developed a crack lengthwise in the middle of the blade. I had dropped it in a shallow stream bed and perhaps that fractured it.
I simply mailed it to the retailer in Texas and had a shiny new one within a week. Very good warranty coverage. No problems since then.
