Dick ErgoGrip Outdoor Knife Set 3-piece – Hunting Set for Gralloching, Ringing, and Boning
After the shot, you don't need a collection of knives, but the right three blades for the first clean steps.
The Dick ErgoGrip Outdoor Knife Set combines a gralloching knife, a ringing knife, and a boning knife into a compact hunting set for the hunting ground, game processing, and the larder.
The difference from a classic butcher's knife set lies in the hunting division of roles. The primary focus here is not on extensive meat processing at the butchering table, but on gralloching, ringing, and preparing game with highly visible, grippy work knives.
Important note for classification:
This set is a hunting knife set for game processing. It does not replace a bone saw, a sharpening steel, or a secure transport solution, unless these are included in your specific product configuration. The gralloching knife, ringing knife, and boning knife must be thoroughly cleaned after contact with the game carcass, hide, and blood.
Before purchasing, check: desired knife roles, transport, sharpening routine, cleaning in the field, larder procedures, need for a bone saw, and whether you additionally require a sharpening steel.
What makes this product technically special:
✔ Gralloching knife 15 cm: for controlled opening of the game carcass with better guidance than a normal hunting knife.
✔ Ringing knife 10 cm: for clean ringing and more precise work in the hock/vent area.
✔ Boning knife 13 cm: for close-to-bone work and preparation in the larder.
✔ Signal orange handles: knives are quicker to find in grass, on dark surfaces, and among equipment.
✔ ErgoGrip/MasterGrip working logic: non-slip plastic handles and hygienic design for hunting processing.
Why this product?
This set is useful if you don't want to process game with a single all-purpose knife. Each step requires different tools: opening, ringing, and boning are not the same knife tasks.
The big advantage is the clear sequence. The gralloching knife handles the controlled initial cut, the ringing knife takes care of more precise detailed work, and the boning knife handles loosening and preparing for further butchering.
-
Cleaner game processing: Special blades reduce improvisation and unnecessary cutting errors.
-
Compact set size: three knives instead of a large larder block – useful for the hunting ground and vehicle.
-
Good visibility: orange handles are a real practical advantage during hunting work.
-
Professional working handles: plastic handles are easier to clean than many classic natural material handles.
Practical tip: Establish and maintain a sequence
Before starting work, establish a fixed sequence: gralloching, ringing, boning, cleaning. This way, you won't grab the wrong knife under time pressure.
After contact with heavily soiled areas, do not immediately switch to clean game meat with the same knife. Knife changes and cleaning are part of game meat hygiene.
A sharp small ringing knife is safer than a too large knife that you have to control with force.
Our assessment
The Dick ErgoGrip Outdoor Knife Set is a strong choice for hunters who want to work more structured after the shot. It is more practical than a single beautiful hunting knife because it cleanly separates the most important hunting knife roles.
The set is particularly useful for users who switch between the hunting ground and the larder: the knives are highly visible, easy to clean, and functionally designed for game processing. It's not a prestige set, but a working tool.
The limit is clear: without a sharpening steel or sharpening option, even the best knife set will not remain cleanly cutting for long. For bone cuts, you additionally need a saw. And whoever is looking for a compact belt knife for the whole day will find this set too specialized.
Suitable for:
- Hunters who want to cleanly separate gralloching, ringing, and boning
- Hunting vehicle, larder, or hunting backpack with an organized knife compartment
- Young hunters who want to clearly learn knife roles
- Users who prefer signal-colored work knives instead of dark handle scales
Less suitable for:
- pure EDC or outdoor use without game processing
- Users looking for a single belt knife
- complete meat processing without a sharpening steel, breaking knife, or bone saw
- Setups where knives cannot be transported cleanly or stored separately
Direct classification:
✔ 3-piece outdoor hunting set: strong for gralloching, ringing, and initial larder work.
✔ 4-piece ErgoGrip butcher's set: better for butchering, portioning, and continuous edge maintenance at the workstation.
✔ Single hunting knife: more compact, but quickly a compromise for multiple work steps.
This set is worthwhile if you understand game processing as a sequence of work steps and do not want to improvise with a single blade.
Application scenarios
-
Hunting ground: Gralloching and initial processing with highly visible handles.
-
Larder: Preparation, ringing, boning, and transition to butchering.
-
Hunting training: clear tool roles help in learning clean procedures.
-
Vehicle equipment: compact basic knife set for mobile game processing.
Practical tip: Solve transport and hygiene beforehand
Three loose knives in a backpack are not a good solution. Plan for a washable bag, box, or roll bag so that soiled knives can be transported separately.
After the hunt, do not only clean the blades. Also carefully check handle areas, transitions, and possible contact surfaces.

FAQ
What is the 3-piece hunting set for?
For gralloching, ringing, and initial larder work. It covers the most important knife roles after the shot, but does not replace a complete butchering or sharpening set.
Why is a ringing knife included?
The ringing knife is smaller and more precise than a normal hunting knife. Especially for detailed work, less blade length is often safer and more controlled.
Is a sharpening steel included?
No. This set contains three knives. For ongoing edge maintenance, you should use a suitable sharpening steel or a suitable sharpening system separately.
Can I also use the set in the larder?
Yes, especially for preparation and boning. For larger meat cuts and portioning, an additional breaking knife is useful.
Who is the set not suitable for?
It is less suitable for users who only want a compact belt knife or who do not process game. For them, the set is too specialized.
Conclusion: The Dick ErgoGrip Outdoor Knife Set is a useful basic hunting equipment for gralloching, ringing, and boning. It is worthwhile for hunters who want to work cleaner and more structured. For complete butchering, you additionally need a sharpening steel, a breaking knife, and depending on the work, a bone saw.
