Editor's Choice
The Tac Force TF-469 Gentleman's Assisted Opening Folding Knife is a lesser quality knife.
While it is a lesser quality, it certainly will do the job while deer hunting and it will last for quite a while with the proper care.
The blade can be honed razor sharp with one of the best hunting knife sharpeners, however it will not hold an edge like top quality knives will.
We do like the assisted opening and its size is very convenient to carry in your pocket.
The Tac Force TF-469 is our Editor's Choice for the Best Cheap Deer Hunting Knife.
Tac Force TF-469 Review of Quality
As mentioned earlier, the quality of the TF-469 is not up to the standards of most deer hunting knives.
It does however meet a price point that is unheard of in a deer hunting knife today.
In our search for the best cheap deer hunting knife it was very difficult to find a knife that was inexpensive and yet met our expectations for a knife that we could use for a season or two.
The Pakkawood handle seems to be of good quality.
It has a 4 inch black stainless steel straight edge blade that can be honed to a fine edge.
It does not however hold that edge for long under use.
Tac Force TF-469 Review of Design and Functionality
What the TF-469 lacks in quality it kind of makes up for in design and functionality.
While it is not a knife that you will be quartering and deboning very many deer with.
It is a knife that works very well for field dressing and skinning.
It has a spring assisted opening mechanism making it simple to open with one hand.
The Pakkawood handle feels very good in your hand and it is lightweight.
The Tac Force TF-469 comes with a pocket clip for ease of carrying.
Add in an unbelievably inexpensive price, and you have the best cheap deer hunting knife on the market today.
