What is Your Personal Hunting Knife?

[tippit]

With all the great knives in every size & shape on this forum....What is Your personal hunting knife that You carry (be it your own made or someone else)?

I've always liked a small three finger knife, 6 1/2" AOL, a paracord grip for non-slippage, and a cross draw sheath...with or without a Bud Popper     tippit

Either...

 

Or...

 

The little Ian Bailey Damascus is a fantastic blade. Cutting edge is just 2-1/2" It just has an amazing tactile, weighty quality about it. I find it very difficult to not play with, it just feels so nice in my hand.

You mean I have to choose one??!

I haven't decided yet.  Could be this one:
 

Or maybe this one:
 

Or this one:
 

If I have time to make one for me it'll be the sister to this one:

Hah! I know what you mean! If I'm honest I don't actually have 'A' hunting knife. I have many, many hunting knives  :D  The difficult part is trying to match my knife with the rest of my outfit! (Accessorising is simply everything daaahhling!)

I'll take this one that I just finished till I make a better one.

[tippit]

I know ya'll have plenty of knives and could take a different one each time...But if you could just take one for Hunting...field dressing & skinning?  

That's the one I want to see..not cause it's pretty but most functional for You.  There, I made it a little harder...I think    tippit

[tippit]

One more thing, why do You prefer a long or short knife for hunting?  tippit

this was my fav all round knife it skined chopped and dressed and it was big. i named it F.O.A.K  ask bob walker what it stands for as he is the owner of it now LOL!!! made out of carbon steel with rimu handle. it was a bitch to make but hey it is heavy.     :D           plus i have a new knife to play with now

I'll try this one first off this year.
 
This one is my current carry all the time when hunting or 3ding.

I really like the smaller one because it has a crossdraw sheath, is easy to sharpen and holds an incredible edge. Plus you can't go wrong with anything forged by Doug Campbell.

[theunluckyhunter]

well, i would show you but its about 7 hours away getting a sheath made for it

[sticshooter]

Got 3 I plan on for now.<><
 

[Squirrel Bait]

I'd show you mine too, but Sticshooter and Shell has it right now.

Right now, it would have to be my Baker drop point;

 

She's got about a 3 & 3/4" blade made of S30V, made out of some tapered thick stock, sweet grind and a fine edge. It fits my paws right well. I also have a Buck Vanguard that I'm pretty fond of. I like about 4" or so blade. They seem to handle a lot of tasks well and a 8" OAL well made knife fits my hand well.

This has been my knife of choice for the last 25yrs.  
I have gutted and skinned everything from squirrels to white Tails,upland game birds, waterfoul and fish. I think I'm going to retire it this year and use this one that I received from Frank in this years knife swap.
 

[SouthMDShooter]

I made this one a couple months ago (my first) and it will be on my hip whenever im in the woods this season.

   

     

5 inch blade 10 inches overall

[elk ninja]

Hmmm, the "one" delema has me stumped.  I carry a few when out hunting I guess, as well as a different assembly when out hiking, bushcrafting, stumping, flyfishing, camping and the like.... But this year:

A Helle Fire (I have removed the fire steel from this sheath all together since Helle knives absolutely suck for sparks) is in the kill pack:
 

My Enzo Trapper (on the left) will be on my belt for chores:
 

And this little trade knife necker is usually around my neck in the woods as well.  I bought it from G. Fred Asbel, so I keep hoping it has some of his mojo.  Alas, I haven't taken any animals since I bought it!
 

So, does three knives count?  I may cut out the fire or the trapper to save on weight since I am backpacking it in this year...

[tippit]

Very nice everyone!  This is kind of a fun break to see what is going to the woods this fall.  Thanks...tippit

This one is by robtattoo.

I have one sticshooter made me that will get some woods time this year as will the one Jeremy's Dad made that I won in this years auction.

Been using a Buck 110 folder and a few others for way to many years.
