I don't always use the same ones; here is a beautiful pair Jeremy made me a few years ago. A necker and matching belt knife.

My allrounder from EKA, factory made in Kiruna Sweden:

I have several nice ones to choose from these are my favorites L to R: "Yukon" by Knives of Alaska, A custom built by my Cousin Ed Shempp, a Damascus Drop point by Doug Campbell, A wonderful 80+ old Marbles with new Ironwood handle,  and my bone handled A/G knife built by "Tippit".

The Campbell wears Bighorn scales and rides in horizontal sheath on my left side.  It has become my constant 'hunting companion' since recieving it from Doug.      :thumbsup:

The "Tippit" looks like this when mated with a beautiful A/G made by Tim Roberts and rides my left forearm when ever there is a bow in hand.

Made mine to match my Iroquois.

The knifes I use is:
   

Eka Nordic 11
I've used this knife in 3 continents hunting, it holds an edge real good and I've used it to skin a whole moose without resharpening    :D  

The newest in the hunting knife section is two beatiful knifes made by my fellow Tradganger Scott A. Roush

This has been my favorite knife this year. Emerson CQC 13 Bowie. Its bomb proof and keeps an edge. Not a pretty knife but a quality, trustworthy, American made brute that Id take into the woods or battle with equal confidence.

This one is a Jonathan Mcnees MCK 1. G10 scales and 1085 blade. Ive used it like a hatchet building groundblinds and clearing shooting lanes and was as sharp when I finished as when I started. A light touch to a steel and its razor sharp. And again, American made.   They arent the prettiest but Im drifting away from pretty knives these last few months. Im sure Ill be back to artful knives in a little bit.

I have got way to many knives, bows also but that's another story. I like Bucks, Gerbers, Old Schrades, Kabars, Case, Bokers, Helle and my Favorite is a Marine Kabar that saw duty in the South Pacific with an Army engineer during WW II, just a great knife. I also just picked up an Emmons off the classifieds and have been carrying it this year.

Here are a few made by my friend Wayne Depperschmidt.

  The top one is Sambar Stag and is approximately 15 years old.

 The middle one is Sheep Horn and was made last summer.

The one on the bottom is stabilized Elk Antler and was made sometime in between?
