Common questions
What is the best knife for skinning deer?
A 90 to 120 mm fixed drop-point or trailing-point blade in a stainless or high-carbon steel, with a comfortable handle that grips when wet: a Nieto Cazador, Schrade Isolate or Spika Bushmaster are good examples. If you would rather swap blades than sharpen in the field, a Havalon Piranta or Outdoor Edge replaceable-blade skinner is the choice of many guides.
Is it legal to carry a hunting knife in NSW?
You can own and buy hunting knives without a licence, but you may only carry a knife in a public place with a reasonable excuse, such as travelling to or from a hunt, fishing, farm or trade work, or a lawful sporting activity. Self-defence is specifically not a reasonable excuse. Store the knife in your pack or vehicle when not in use.
What is a pig sticker knife?
A long, narrow fixed blade of 150 to 250 mm with a strong point and a guard, used by dogging and bow hunters to dispatch pigs quickly. Spika, Nieto and Ridgeline stickers are stocked, and we recommend a full-tang blade with a sheath that locks.
Which knife brands does Magnum Sports stock?
Nieto from Albacete in Spain is our largest range, alongside Condor, Havalon, Schrade, CRKT, Kershaw, Spika, Puma, F. Dick, Outdoor Edge, Ridgeline, Cold Steel and Buck, plus Warthog and Lansky sharpeners. All knives ship Australia-wide.
Do you sell knife sets for butchering game?
Yes. F. Dick three-piece hunting and deboning sets, Spika Fieldcraft knife rolls, Outdoor Edge game processing kits and Nieto skinner and boner pairs are stocked, from about $99 to $300, and suit hunters who process their own venison and pork.
