I like a 4-inch, fairly thin drop point blade for deer size critters, a 5-inch blade for elk size critters.

Buck 110. Like Dan Ackroyd said as Joe Friday - "I've never needed more..."

I have field dressed a ton of deer with my black Buck Crosslock.

After I misplaced it (I found it later) while field dressing a deer with my brother, he bought me the orange Outdoor Edge Swingblade. I love it. Simple, sharp, quick. And it's a lot harder to lose in a gutpile

Great knives guys!, both beautiful and functional.
Heres my all time favorite,
Case M3 Finn, 3 1/8" clipped blade, nothing fancy, just meat and potatoes. I didnt notice till i looked at pics, that old blade has seen a lot of sharpenings.

I use a Bob Dozier Youkon Pro Skinner with a 3&1/2" blade for deer. Scary sharp and holds it's edge a long time....Dave

Without hesitation, my Swafford Knives Autumn Hunter. I have dressed 3 deer so far this fall and have not had to touch up the blade. Still sharp and still beautiful. I love this knife and will be purchasing a Fin and Feather or a Companion from Shawn in early 2013. Shawn is also a sponsor here, his TG Name is "Ringneck" http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=00003367

Bark river knives, drop point with a 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" blade.

WOW you guys have some beautiful knives! i admiti m an inner knife junky but i dont have as many as i wish. hahah.i havent hunted but every time i take the bow out or fish i always bring my BG gerber knife. saved a bunch of arrows from stumping.i dont live a day without my swiss army knife that was given to me as a gift. has everything but pliers. btw i fish ALOT! i live right by the water. once i begin hunting i think a new knife that will fit my needs shall be purchased =] this year i lost my handy filet knife =[ my brother edited this video maybe some will enjoy me and my friend had a good day with alot of fish up to 22lbs... PS i lost my filet knife that day, so you see me struggling with a old backup thats as dull as bricks and impossible to sharpen, because of that day i bought my BG Gerber survival knife

After having a Kershaw attempt to close on my hand while field dressing a doe a couple of years ago, that knife was retired. I really like the axis locking system Benchmade uses. For the last two years I have been using a Benchmade Griptilian H2O. I chose it for the Axis lock and the fact it has a highly corrosion resistant steel blade. I find it sharpens easily and holds the edge well. The blade is a modified drop point and is 3.4 inches long. I have used it to gut 4 deer this season all ready.

Highly recommended and I choose to use it over a more expensive custom Gene Ingram knife. Too scared to lose that one

Mine is the Bark River Canadian Special. Antique Ivory micarta grip with finger grooves and a 4" A2 steel convex blade:

For the detail work I prefer my Keith Murr knives.

For the heavy duty business, nothing can match my Randall 25-5.

Those are beauties, Ric!

Flying Dutchman · « **Reply #33 on:** December 10, 2012, 04:37:00 PM »

For my heavy duty work I use my Bark River Bravo 1. Mine has a blue/gold elder burl handle and a 4,14 " S35VN blade, which is a hefty .217 inch thick. A beast and beauty in one...

I received this USA Made Schrade/Old Timer for Christmas when I was 15 (27 years ago) and it has cleaned more than 40 deer, an antelope, a few hogs and lots of rabbits, tree rats and birds. It's the perfect size for the hunting I do and I use it every year. 7" overall, 3" blade. I would like a custom made someday shaped just like it. I have a drawer full of hunting knives but this is my favorite.

Jack Whitmire Jr · « **Reply #35 on:** December 10, 2012, 06:23:00 PM »

Ah the old Schrade sharpfinger cool little knife!

Iron Man2 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 10, 2012, 06:50:00 PM »

I have used for over a decade my AK knife set. It has the capping and large brown bear knives. I have my new prototype Bowie that has not seen blood yet except for my BQ steak.

So many decisions....

Ron LaClair should be along shortly.

Biathlonman · « **Reply #38 on:** December 10, 2012, 08:38:00 PM »

Victorinox. Often the hunter xt, but I always have one of their pairing knives on board that I seem to be reaching for more and more. I usually go gutless method anymore unless I want to do an autopsy.

Ron LaClair · « **Reply #39 on:** December 10, 2012, 10:18:00 PM »

The LaClair Skinner of coarse.... :D
