Welcome to Knife Helper
Hello there, I’m Jamie. I’m a firefighter and when I’m not working, I spend my time in the woods hunting. I’ve been hunting since I was 11 and have used hundreds of knives in the last 18 years. I love talking about knives and that’s the reason I’ve created this space to share my knowledge and expertise to help people.
My Journey with Knives
- When my military dad introduced me to hunting at the age of 10 and I was pretty impressed with his unique collection of knives.
- I trained for hunting with him for a few months and I hunted my first small game, a rabbit at the age of 11 with a fixed blade knife.
- I hunted my first big game, a Brown Bear at the age of 15 accompanied by my father due to Alaska guidelines and performed tasks like dressing, skinning and quartering with my fixed blade.
- At 18, I got my hunting license and since then, I have been hunting down big games regularly and used various knife types to perform different tasks.
