I have either my Marine K-Bar or my Gerber Steadfast.And always have my Benchmade lock back in my pocket.IMHO Benchmade makes the best steel ,I havnt found steel that hold a better edge longer than Benchmade.

Knives are beautiful great thread. Here's a new one that will be in my backpack this fall.

Al Warren #2 Caper in a crossdraw sheath.  Wonderful knives!

I have a sharp, great looking and great handling damascus knife from skullworks that will be on my side this fall.  And a cool little neck knife that I purchased from G. Fred Asbell that will be around my neck or in my pack.  And of course there is a blade on my Leatherman Skeletool that I sometimes carry in my pack.  All I need is something to field dress.

There sure are some nice knives here. I don't use any thing so fancy. I don't often carry a belt knife, but when I do it's an old Gerber model C375. I generally carry a Browning Folder, but I don't know what model number. But the one that's always with me and usually does most of the work is a Case Sodbuster.

I also got a couple of G. Fred's knives recently  that will get some exposure this year (I hope!).

Nothing fancy here either. I just use a buck 112 that over the last 30 years has become my lucky hunting knife.

My TREADWAY KNIFE FROM TREADWAY BOWS.I RETIRED MY OLD SCHRADE MODEL #1560T IT LEFT A LOT OF GUT PILES IN THE WOODS.

I just bought a Wayne Clay Knife from his nephew,
It has sheephorn on the handle and its the best made knife i have ever seen.

a Schrade 'USA 171UH'  its a knife I carry everyday. Its big enough to chop down small trees for building a shelter. It also has a big hilt; which in a bear fight- keeps your hand from slipping forward onto the blade.
 I carry a small knife in my pocket; and another small one in my backpack. I will buy a cheap small knife as long as it locks into place.
 I have scars to prove I need locking blades !

If your elk hunting; its good to have a knife that has a good steel saw blade on it for bone...

 I think a good sheath for a  belt knife is as important as the knife!

Here are a few of mine.

My Robtattoo knife went on every hunt with me last season and will do so for season to come! I used this to gut my sons first deer this past season!

Curlis - your as bad as I am! I would lose weight- but I need the belt space    :D

This is a bit of a zombie thread but dang it - knives are cool!  If the OP still cares, this is the assortment of sharp, pointy (non arrow-mounted) objects I plan to carry this year. All three of these are high on quality and low on cost and two of the three (I'll leave it to you to guess which) are made in the USA.

 

Top to bottom those are:

* Becker BK-2 - this is for the majority of my bushcraft needs and for administering coups de grace to squirrels, rabbits, etc.

* Victorinox Huntsman - always in my pocket anyway, why not for hunting?  For additional bushcraft things, fixing stuff, opening soft drinks, snacks, my thumb occasionally, and so on.

* Becker BK-11 - this will be my first season with a neck knife and this one's a dandy.  I hope to use the Becker Necker this year for field dressing duty, if I'm fortunate enough to put deer on the deck.

Besides the "LaClair Skinner" on my belt this fall I'll be toting this one in a neck sheath, the "Lil' Shaver", 3" blade, 6.5" overall.
