My 2 favorites til I lost the Boker after skinning a deer. Was my do-it-all knife. The CRKT stays in my quiver.

 


I'm really liking this Bark River so far though.

I carry a couple different knives.

Stone is the best skinning tool I know of. One is a Doug Campbell and the other a custom damascus made by a gentleman in UT.

Nothing finer than a custom knife. They are a working piece of art. My Tippit and Karl Andersen knives are prized possessions. As far as production knives go I'm really impressed with the little skeleton Buck Paclite knives. The smaller Skinner and the Caper do a wonderful job and fit very well in the hand.

Bark River knives are real nice.  Hard to go wrong with one.

My Swafford Autumn Hunter. Bar none the best knife I have ever owned. I feel naked in the woods without it!

Since you mentioned Sharpfingers here is the knife I plan to give to my oldest when he is ready to bowhunt.

I don't have pictures of my constant companion, but it is a Case Peanut. This little knife and my Randall model# 21 belt knife are all I have ever needed.

I know mine does not fit in with all of you guys custom knives, but there is a reason. I am sharpening challenged and can't hardly sharpen a butter knife. My favorite knife is my Havalon Piranta. It has scalpel blades that you just replace when they get dull!

BTW, those are some nice blades in the posts above! And Randy, I'd sure like to watch you skin an elk one day with those rocks! That would be cool to see.

No fancy customs here but this titanium Buck is about as nice and handy a knife for me for use in the salt marshes I hunt in a lot.

   

For bowhunting locally I carry either of these two 60s and early 70s Pumas.

I have a Schrade SC507 folder that I got in 1976. Never had a stone to it or ever used. I may start using it. I use a Buck vanguard in the field.

I've got a couple customs, nothing fancy just good solid damascus blades that work well.  That said, nothing beats a Buck 110 folder for all around work or hunting in my opinion.  I probably buy one every year...if I had a metal detector I could probably find most of the 110s I've lost ones around the place.  For $30 they are a great knife and I don't get all wigged out if I loose it.
