Hunting Knife

These six knives are the ones we set aside for the hunt — Yakut blades chosen for field craft rather than the kitchen table. The collection gathers the Hunter (Bulchut), Hunter’s Dawn, Bear’s Trail (Baianai), Wolf’s Trail (Börö Suola), Black Fang (Khara) and Pathfinder (Suoldyut): a mix of tough carbon and easy-care stainless steels, sized and ground for the work a hunter actually does.
Their common thread is the Yakut single-fuller grind, whose asymmetric edge keeps the blade from binding as it passes through hide and muscle, so field-dressing, skinning and breaking down game stay controlled — and because there is only one bevel to maintain, a quick pass on a stone brings the edge back in camp. Some, like Black Fang, run long for heavier cutting; others are compact enough to ride quietly on a belt all day.
If you are weighing a Yakut knife against the Scandinavian blades many hunters already own, our guide to the Yakut knife versus the puukko and bushcraft knives lays out where each one shines. Choosing your first? How to choose a Yakut knife covers steel, size and handle. Every blade here is hand-forged by a master smith of the Sakha Republic — ice-born, fire-forged, and built to work.
