You're killing me.  

I want one of these RobTattoo Huntsmans so bad it hurts - and yet, to the best of my knowledge, he's not back to making them yet.  

I hate patience.

As to the OP's question, my current knife is a Buck Alpha Hunter.

Well, on my black bear hunt I'll have a USMC Ka-Bar... just in case. Usually I just carry a Kershaw lock blade.

My everyday, no matter the day, pocket carry is a Boker Walker design folder. ATS34 is a great steel for holding and renewing the edge.
When hunting, on the belt, is a Beretta Loveless design, stag handle and... Loveless. Probably the closest I'll ever get to one. This is a Stag Handle and replaced the Schrade Loveless, I carried before this one. I'm a sucker for the Stag handles. This thread rekindles the "too many knives" desire. Like some others, I have a "couple of other ones"...

I carry my old Gerber, I think I had this knife for 33 years. It's the folding model with the brass handle and Shedua inserts.

For deer, a Knives of Alaska Cub with stag handle and an old Schrade folding knife with a skinning type blade. If I can find it. For small game, a Western fixed blade small game knife.

Im not hunting yet, but I walk around with this one most of the time, and always when in the woods! Was made for my father by a local smith.

 

Believe the wood is firebirch with a 3 inch blade.

The other is a Neck knife that I got from  www.trackofthewolf.com  which is fashioned after a small French trade knife w/ neck sheeth.

Been carrying this for 17 years now. It was given to me by my foster father shortly before I left Finland to go to the US to join the Marine Corps. I have carried it with me ever since. Like an earlier poster mentioned sheaths of the Scandinavian type and the ring and loop type all fold if you fall so you don't break a rib or get bruised from you knife etc.

When in the outdoors I have an AG Russel Gentleman's folding hunter with a Tallonite blade in the pocket; very light and cobalt has legendary edge holding ability. I carry a buck 120 on a caribiner hooked to the front of my day pack, as I don't carry a pistol. yep mainly for protection and any big jobs that come up, and is also about the lightest big knife you can get cheap. I also have a Knives of Alaska cleaver with a stag handle and several other tacticals with S60V blades as part of the truck/camp reserve gear. I also bring a buck skinner which I used when I skinned for a game processing place in Casper a "few" years ago, it has skinned a "few" animals.
One of Ron's hawks would also make an excellent tool and great protection, better than a knife for sure. I might have to get one of those sometime.
