TE Custom Blades - caping knife review
TE Custom Blades produce quality knives for many purposes. After having used a neck knife from this company for a little while, I was keen to see how their new caping design would work. It's a very tough blade made from s35vn steel and the shape allows it to be used for a variety of hunting situations.
At the time of making this video I had used the knife on over 20 different animals - fallow deer, goats, and rabbits. The knife performed flawlessly and it will be used in my regular knife rotation from now on.
