This past year my knife did not get used at all.  It sure looked nice, though!

Mine was pretty busy on the deer, pigs, and turkeys, but I don't have any pics of it! I use a Havalon with replaceable blades because I am very sgharpening challenged, and so there are not many glamour knife pic opps for me!

we shoot a lot of deer here( lots with the ol smoke pole too- some with the bow- when the season is right)
but we have too- cos they're a lot smaller -these blacktails  :D  .
I think this last summer and fall I put 10 or maybe 12 in our freezer, and helped a few mates out as well- with another half dozen or so- and gave another  3 away to a single mum in town.
but that is all we eat besides salmon- no takeaway joints on island either.
man I sure do miss a nice big fat rump steak sometimes!!
 my favourite knife is a knife a Norwegian friend gave me. it the one with the carbon steel blade in the pic below.
   

holds a razor sharp edge- and just strop it to keep it nice and sharp, and if I let it go too far- not much work to get the edge back.
its a little big- bit of a pig sticker- but think I am going to get one of the smaller ones, also in carbon

Since my daughter started hunting, I do less shooting and more gutting/dragging.  She put me to work on 4 whitetails this last fall and I loved every minute of it!!  Hopefully this weekend she put me to work dressing out a turkey!  I spend more time with my knife in my hand then a bow or muzzleloader and that's just fine by me!

My Swafford Fin and Feather wasn't too busy, 3 deer and 2 turkey, multiple weapons. Slow year.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
