Hunting season is here and I could use a knew knife. What do you all like? Photos appreciated.

a leatherman. Seriously, compact, easy to carry with a bone saw included plus whatever else you might need. The pliers come in handy just in case of accidental cactus encounters too.
Fucking cholla......... |

I haven't hunted deer since I was a kid.
I really think the multi tool idea mentioned above is a good idea. I would use some brake parts cleaner on the tool afterwards. |
|
I have a pos gerber metalious I have been using for about 5 years. It holds an edge decent, has a rubber grips, and a good skinning contour. I think it cost me $35, so I don't care what happens to it.

Mora knife for like 9 bucks off Amazon.

Whatever the combo set is that Buckmaster's sent out with the renewal. I got two of them and just leave em in my packs.

Two actually.
My 1985 purchased Buck 110 folder for gutting and quartering. My old American made Schrade fixed blade Sharp Finger for skinning. If I had to choose just one it would be the Buck 110 folder. |

My Randall 23. 4.5" stainless blade, compass in butt. Perfection. http://images5a.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp63594%3Enu%3D3246%3E857%3E%3A%3B%3B%3EWSNRCG%3D35%3A3%3C8%3B262329nu0mrj View Quote I could see this knife as being serious potential. What blade steel does it use?? |

Buck Knife, "Zipper". Buck Zipper Knife
|
|
Browning F.D.T.
Had it for about fifteen years, gutted a lot of deer and a couple bear with it. Holds edge well. |
|
There are many good choices. Some of my favorites are the Schrade Sharpfinger, Gerber Gator with the clip point, and the Green River Hunter.
|
|
I've got a gerber something or another. Fixed blade, rubber handle, not too many nooks and crannies to hold guts n blood.
Stays sharp as a mofo. |

I've never liked gutting deer with a folder, pain in the ass to get all the little chunks out of if when you get home.

I have an old Gerber bolt action I think is what it is called. I prefer a folder over a fixed bladed knife. Like this one http://highadventureoutfitters.com/hao_images/297_gerber_bolt_action_utility_1d.jpg View Quote I lost one of those in my army days years age, brought back memories. Mine came with a spare saw blade that rode in a second pocket in the sheath, I still have the sheath and second blade, but no knife |

Dressed and boned out a whole lotta deer with one of these: http://www.westwealdfalconry.co.uk/_productimages/Buck-Alpha-(folding).jpg My next one will probably be a bit lighter and a fixed blade, though. View Quote I have the camo version. I've gutted a few using a Bucklite also. |

I have the Gerber Profile Fixed Gut Hook. It sharpens up real nice and also cut the tip of my thumb off during a paper slicing demonstration for my buddies! http://i39.tinypic.com/14xf244.jpg View Quote Huh! Just ordered this 2 days ago... I'm keeping my thumb tips attached though! ETA: Been debating on whether to get a separate fillet style to go along with it - anybody else use two knife types while field dressing? |

Maybe I should elevate the Randalls from safe queen to working knife status. |

Buck Woodsman 4" fixed blade. Just because my brother gave it to me when I started hunting as a kid and that's what I use.

Cold Steele Pendleton Lite. Great handing little knife. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge. Low cost makes them great gifts.

I've been using a Buck Vanguard for quite a while now. Works for me.
