dirtguy, I have a Buck Crosslock and it has exactly what you're looking for. Only two blades. One is a drop point. The other is a saw/gut hook combo. Very nice and useful tool.
You can't go wrong with a Buck.

Joey Ward - I looked it up and that is exactly what I want!
I love Buck knives. I have a model 102 that I got as a teenager and it has served me well.
Thanks!

My two favorite are a case trapper and a Ray Kirk medicine blade. The case gets 95% of the work.

I have folding Chicago Cutlery lock-blade on my belt for 40 years, and I like the Buck Pathfinder for skinning and cutting up big animals that need to be boned in the field, like moose. I keep that in my day pack. To bone out meat I like a knife with a tang or finger stop. Handles get very slippery when cutting huge slabs of meat and grip gets fatigued. Keep blade sharp to reduce resistance during boning. Mike

I like my buck 119, have used it on everything from squirrels to hogs. Then again I prefer a fixed blade knife over a folder.

I like the Outdoor Edge Flip and Zip. If I’m very far off the road or down hill, I Bone them out. I’m not into dragging dear. I’ve done around 25 animals with mine and it’s my go to. I also have a nice Buck knife I was given as a gift and if I’m able too get it out whole, I use the Buck for skinning.

A fixed blade Buck 105. Larger than I need, but got it as a gift in the seventies, and it's been on every hunt with me since.

Love that LaClair skinner. Might have to get me one of those. I have a bunch of great knives, including a Randall I carry sometimes, but on my Catquiver is a Gerber Magnum Hunter (folder) that I've been carrying for nearly 30 years now. It has dressed a bunch of deer.

My self made small game hunter pattern is most typical of what I carry. This particular one is the first knife I ever made. It's in Elmax steel and is still my go-to hunting blade, despite me having made several knives of higher levels of fit/finish since I got started.

My EDC knife, and I mean if I have my pants on I have this knife, is a Zero Tolerance ZT-0303 assisted opening, 3.75" Tiger Stripe blade, sharp as a razor and holds an edge, cuts, guts, skins, smears mayo, cuts cheese for my sandwich and definitely the one you want in your hand if things turn ugly. Other than that I carry a boning knife in my pack, no need to over complicate.

I have a Buck Crosslock knife for several years. It has a 3" drop point blade and a 3" saw/gut hook that works remarkably well. I have gutted several deer, a bear, and deboned 2 elk with it.
I once did something stupid trying to remove a stuck broad head from a tree and broke the gut hook. Buck replaced the blade and sharpen the knife, no charge, no questions asked. Great customer service. This is my go to knife.
