ESEEKnives Ashley Game Hunting Skinning Knife w/Sheath, Made in USA (Orange/Black/S35V/Kydex Sheath)

I have way to many knives lol....got this one because of the fixed blade s35vn...love that steel and this design is absolutely perfect for cleaning deer of which I do alot during hunting season...the quality is outstanding with a lifetime warranty...my first esee knife...very happy and impressed.

I bought the 1095 version of the AGK with green micarta scales in 2021. It is a fantastic game knife and it's green micarta scales have great grip, but are a bit thin for my tastes. I recently bought the newly released S35V version of the AGK with the new contoured brown canvas micarta scales. While the S35V blade is perfect, the new contoured brown micarta scales are infused/covered in so much bonding agent they a far too slick to provide safe grip as a game knife, and still a bit on the thin side. I sent that version back and have ordered a S35V AGK with the orange/black G10 scales hoping it will be adequately grippy. If not, I guess I'll have to make my own micarta scales for it.

The knife is great. Fit and finish is wonderful, and the knife is just the right size. It fits the hand perfect.

I’d been eyeing the AGK for a while, specifically in s35vn, because I’ve been wanting a quality fixed blade for hunting. I’ve been using the havalon for years, and still will, as well as the outdoor edge box of processing knives. Those work great and I’ve had no issues with your basic Midwest whitetail hunting where I can take a deer TO my tools. I wanted a dedicated knife for planned hunts out west where I’m not packing the kitchen sink with me.Love the handle ergos so far, the blade profile, and the overall balance. For photo reference, XL mechanix gloves fit me perfectly.I’ll do an update review Q4 of 2024 if I’m fortunate enough to use it on various game.

Excellent knife in every way, quality, craftsmanship, materials, looks,etc.

The clip is strong comes with everything needed to attach, Nice sheath the blade won’t fall out. Great size and sharp can’t wait to test it out!

Bought it as a gift for my son, but may have to get one for myself! Excellent feel in the hand, love the longer handle, and the blade shape. Full tang should hold up, and the blade thickness is stout, but not “I’m a tacticool serrated prybar” kind of stout! Time will tell how well it performs, but I like it’s chances of being handed down to my grandkids.

Outstanding skinning knife. Takes a razor sharp edge easily and will stay sharp throughout the skinning/quartering process for medium sized deer. 1095 requires care for corrosion resistance, but it's worth it for combination of edge retention and ease of sharpening.
