I carry a 24 year old Buck folder that has a green plastic handle..it may be a 110 bucklite? I also carry a Gerber folding Gator with "gut hook". In 2012 A friend gave me a nice used Randall #21 for my 50th Birthday. I have cleaned 4 deer with it so far. I showed my #21 to a Randall dealer, he took pics of it and said the blade shape was not like the other #21's he had seen.so mine is a rare one..

 As Allan mentioned above, there's some incredible talent on Tradgang when it comes to knife building.  I'm reminded of the value of that talent every time I see a joint effort auctioned off on St. Judes Auction. Hopefully we'll see another joint effort this June-for the kids of course.

My Doug Campbell knives. They have cleaned a lot of game. Only sharpening needed is a quick strop on leather or a steel. Awesome craftsmanship .

I skinned a quartered an entire cow moose with a fold up havalon.  Use it on all my deer too.

I've skinned and boned four moose with a Havalon.  Last year I thought I was going to have to be airlifted after I slipped and stuck the blade into my wrist and began projectile bleeding.  

I folded my wrist over and wrapped it tight with a game bag and it finally clotted.  BE CAREFUL WITH HAVALONS...

Here's one I made myself 3 years ago. It's been through over 70 deer, 12 hogs, 8 coons & 3 beaver. All from field to freezer, along with countless camp-chores & kitchen duty. As far as I'm concerned, it's THE perfect hunting knife.
