Hunting knife

[1] Some hunting knives are adapted for other uses in the wild, such as a camp knife, which hunters may use as machetes or hatchets when those specific tools are not available.

Hunting knives are traditionally designed for cutting rather than stabbing, and usually have a single sharpened edge.

Most hunting knives designed as "skinners" have a rounded point as to not damage the skin as it is being removed.

[2] Hunting knives include the puukko, the Yakutian knife, and the Sharpfinger.

Most American designs are based on a smaller version of the Bowie knife.
