A thumb grip to allow maximum manipulation during precise works
The Hunter Gut Hook
The most difficult part to engineering, the gut hook as been the first and finale feature to be design. It is 5mm wild with a sharp cutting edge for maximal use.
Heavy and massive, the pommel allow a very good balance when holding the knife.
Handle grip
Simple and eastethic the lines follow the inclination of the guard and pommel. Deep enought for a maximal grip.
Hammer
Flat and wider part of the tang is to be used as hammer to hammer nail or break bones. The hammer is engraved to allow a better grip when you hit this part with a log or hammer for the blade to slice through big branches, trees or logs.
Blood Groove
The first role is to direct the blood along the blade. The second job is to take some weight off the tang to equilibrqte the knife
This allow you to light fire very easely from the flat and corner surface of the hammer without damaging the cutting edge.

Our Story !
For years we have been traveling the world. Every time we visited Africa we crossed many countries, people, and landscapes.
We noticed that we were regularly using two or three knives on our adventures. We wondered if we could find a multi-purpose knife that would fulfill all our needs. Of course, we also wanted the best. And although we found many knives we liked, none were practical for what we had in mind.
As we conducted our search, we sought out advice from many different people and organizations. We learned that the knife we wanted didn’t exist. We also learned that we weren’t the only ones who could use such a knife. Indeed, the more people we talked to, the more it became clear that such a knife would be well received. So we decided to do a survey.
The ideal multi-purpose knife needed to be able to do many different, yet very specific jobs. We knew what we wanted, but needed to know what others wanted as well. To that end, we asked for feedback about the shape, the blade, the tang, the handle, the length, and many other features. How would people use this knife? Would it be for, hunting, skinning, bush skills, camping, collecting, survival? Indeed, we had many questions.
We conducted a survey to best understand the needs our Ultimate knife must meet. Our goal is to create the Ultimate multipurpose knife that provides the optimum tool out there in the bush or on the farm.
Of course, where do you go when you want advice about a specific experience? Direct to the user. So, we provided our survey to all the hunting and conservation organizations and associations in Africa.
The response has been fantastic! We are happy to report that all the major hunting and conservation associations and organizations of Africa have been very interested. In response, we created a second survey to include private users and non-professionals.
After few months of data collection and talking to many organizations, we identified two projects to begin: - Ranger knife - Hunter knife
The hunter knife has been an especially exciting project. Indeed, for the first time in history all the professional hunter associations of Africa have come together to complete our survey. They have all joined in their support to participate in helping make this knife a success.
- APHA - African Professional Association - PHASA - Professional Hunters Association of South Africa - PHAZ - Professional Hunters Association of Zambia - TPHA - Tanzania Professional Hunters Association - ZPHGA - Zimbabwe Professional Hunters and Guide Association - NPHA - Namibia Professional Hunters Association As well as the support of SAHGCA - South African Hunters and Game Conservation Association, with some of their branches like Mopani Branches, Bloemfontain Branch, etc.
Due to the success of the Professional Hunter knife project we decided to launch a second project for the Rangers of Africa. On the same principal we ran a survey among all Professional Rangers from: - SANPARKS - South Africa National Parks - GRAA - Game Rangers Association of Africa
In addition, we are working with knife manufacturers to try and lower the production cost and make the knives more affordable to hunters and farmers.
Looking forward, we anticipate making the knives for the rangers of Africa available through crowd-funding opportunities. Our goal is to help support them in their everyday work protecting wildlife.
For this, we will need your help and support to raise the funds needed to supply the knives to the rangers.

The African Rangers
After 3 years of research, we have created the perfect tool for the African Rangers and Safaris.
For this we need to collect 10,000 USD to produce 500 units.
So to make it possible we will organised a "kickstarter" campaign. So keep following us!
We will as well reverse 5% of Wild Meester turn over in knives for the GRAA rangers.

Customer Reviews Pro hunter
I just received the Pro Hunter First let me say that the communications with the Wild Meester staff was great, excellent follow up on their part. The knife arrived and here are my first impressions. Very high quality overall. The blade overall has a high mirrored finish. The saw teeth on the spine are much more usable than I had expected. While I have not tested them yet, it seems that they would make short work of thick branches. The blade is sharp enough to shave the hair on my arm. A bit less sharp at the tip but not a problem. The blade is hefty enough to be used as a chopper and with the surface on top of the spine for hammering, one could easily split small logs. The handle is of black micarta and while not the prettiest it will serve me well for function. I’ll be taking this knife on my next hunting trip and use it for its intended purpose. For now, I couldn’t be more pleased. Many thanks.
