The hunting knife is a knife used during hunting for preparing the game to be used as food. These activities involve skinning the animal and cutting up the meat. Hunting knives are traditionally designed for cutting rather than stabbingand usually have a single sharpened edge.

Some blades incorporate a guthook.

The Bowie knife is used to describe a wide range of hunting knivesalthough in common usage the term refers to any large sheath knife with a crossguard and a clip point. The knife pattern is still popular with collectors and hunters. Most modern versions of the Bowie knife a blade length between 6 and 12 incheswith a relatively broad blade with thick steel.
