Muela Rhino Hunting Knife review English Language





Muela Rhino Knife




Ok I made the vid you see below a while back but now just want to say some more about this very well made knife. Personally I think the knives Muela is making out of 14C28N are (no pun intended) a cut above the rest of their production. The finish dare I say it is very nice with attention to detail on the knife construction much much better than their regular line (and it's a very big range of models) of knives. I'm not going to make comparisons only let you decide if a knife like the Rhino is suitable for your uses. The name Rhino certainly conjures up a knife that is tough and it is. If you want a great little camp/hunting knife for sub 100 Euros, yeah that's right, sub 100 Euros you could do much worse. I guess with their huge production run they can sell such a knife at the "right price"



Remember too that Sandvik developed the 14C28N specifically for knife production, good on edge retention and resistant to edge rolling. it's quite common these days to see many knives with handle scales "bolted on" to the tang but in reality how many times do you remove those scales?? i've had a PUMA HUNTERS FRIEND (which came in various configurations) for over thirty years of action and it's stag handles are riveted on and they never broke or came loose. 



In fact it's cheaper to use bolts, but they look cooler than rivets. Riveting requires specialist machinery to fix the rivets properly or very skilled hands and that means very skilled labour and that means more costs. Anyway I digress. This knife deserves more publicity.
