A dull or flimsy knife makes a long day longer. Theisen's carries hunting knives for every step of the job, from fixed blade skinners and gut hook knives to folding pocket knives, replaceable blade systems, and sharpeners. Whatever you carry in your pack, shop it online or pick one out at your local store.
When there's real work to do, a fixed blade gives you a solid grip and nothing that can fold up on you. We stock all-purpose skinning knives, gut hook blades, and narrow-bladed knives so you have everything you need after the hunt. Most come with a sheath, and multi-piece sets cover the whole job in one buy.
A good folding knife rides in your pocket all season and keeps earning its keep long after the tag is filled. Choose from Buck Knives, Benchmade, SOG, Old Timer, and Cold Steel in everything from classic trappers and stockmans to lockbacks and assisted-opening models. Find one that fits your hand, and you'll reach for it regularly, not just in November.
Sharpening in the field is nobody's idea of a good time. Replaceable blade knives let you snap in a fresh edge the second the old one starts dragging, which matters when you're a mile from the truck with work left to do. We carry drop point, boning, and fillet blade packs to restock and more.
An edge only lasts as long as you maintain it. We carry sharpeners from Work Sharp and Cold Steel to bring a tired blade back to life, plus replacement blade packs from Outdoor Edge, Camillus, and Muddy, so you're never caught short. Sheaths, storage cases, and multi-tools round out what goes in the pack.
There's no single right answer, but a fixed blade drop point in the 3 to 4 inch range handles the most jobs well. If you'd rather not stop to sharpen partway through, go with a replaceable blade knife. And if you want one knife on you year-round, a good folder knife is hard to beat.
Yes. Theisen's carries a variety of hunting knives, from budget pocket knives under $20 to premium fixed blades, with brands like Buck Knives, Benchmade, Cold Steel, SOG, and Outdoor Edge in stock. Order online for shipping, or use the store locator to see what's on the shelf near you. You can also find our other hunting accessories to stock up on gear.
To keep your knife sharp, touch it up before it gets bad. A few passes on a sharpener at the end of each outing takes far less effort than rescuing a truly dull blade. Wipe it dry before it goes back in the sheath too, since blood and moisture will pit steel faster than normal use will dull it.
