Collection: Knives and blades

A quality knife is one of the most essential tools a hunter or angler carries — and one of the most personal. Whether you need a fixed-blade field dressing knife for breaking down an elk in the backcountry, a compact folding knife for everyday carry, or a fillet knife for cleaning trout streamside, the right blade makes every task cleaner, faster, and safer. Glenwood Springs Outdoors carries knives and blades selected for the specific demands of Western Colorado hunters and anglers.

Field Dressing & Hunting Knives

Field dressing a big game animal efficiently requires a knife with the right blade geometry — a drop point or clip point blade with enough belly to open the body cavity cleanly, a gut hook for controlled incisions, and a handle that maintains grip when wet with blood and fat. Fixed-blade hunting knives provide the strength and reliability needed for heavy field dressing work, while folding knives offer compact convenience for hunters who prefer to travel light. We carry hunting knives in a range of blade lengths and handle materials suited for elk, deer, and antelope hunting in Western Colorado.

Fillet Knives

A quality fillet knife is essential for cleaning trout, bass, and other fish cleanly and efficiently. Flexible fillet blades follow the contours of the fish, separating meat from bone with minimal waste. Longer blades (7-9 inches) work best for larger fish like lake trout and kokanee; shorter blades (5-6 inches) are ideal for stream trout and panfish. Stainless steel blades resist corrosion from water and fish slime and maintain a sharp edge through repeated use.

Multi-Tools & Folding Knives

Multi-tools and folding knives provide versatile cutting capability in a compact, packable format — ideal for hunters and anglers who want a capable blade without the bulk of a dedicated fixed-blade knife. Quality folding knives with locking blades provide safe, reliable cutting performance for a wide range of field tasks.
