hunting knife questions

[Creature]

I have been using a Kellam 'Wolverine' puukko knife with a SPT blade. I have used this knife extensively for about eighteen months now. The steel is outstanding. It has been the single best utility knife I have ever come across.

I carry 2 of these Schrade folding knives and a 3 blade pocket knife.

I use this Randall #25 which has a 5" blade, finger grooved stag grips and a compass in the butt. Waited over 4 years to get it and lots of $ but it was worth every bit of it.

Queen Cutlery makes fixed blade knives using D2 steel - my choice steel - as does Knives Of Alaska.
I'll find out if they are worth the very modest price soon.
I have always used a Knives of Alaska set to dress and butcher large game.
This year I got stuck using my Spyderco Endura 4, worked better than I ever hoped for.
Speaking of sharpening knives - Spyderco will sharpen your Spyderco knife for FREE!!! with a pre paid return envelope. That's how I like it.

I have a Buck 110. I use it to gut, to skin, and to butcher.

I have other knives, but I like my Buck 110 the best.

I have several fixed and folders but I seem to always go back to the Case knives. I have a favorite Trapper thats worn a bit but feels good in the hand.

The question was raised about the outdoor edge swing blade knives. I won the orange handle swing blaze in a raffle. I threw it in my day pack figuring what the hell I'll try it. We'll between my son and I and a couple buddies. I used that knife on 6 deer last fall. For gutting a animal these little suckers are great. However for capping the point of the knife is a little to sharp and comes to more of a point than I like. 5 of the deer did not really matter if I got a few hide cuts or not. My sons first buck though was going to the taxidermist. I used the sling blaze for most of the cutting until I reached the critical areas. For that I went back to my custom hunting knife made by Harvey King in Kansas. The outdoor edge knife has earned a spot in my hunting pack no compaints here. Also the knife showed excellant edge retention qualities.

depends on how good you are with a blade, imo

i skinned out a little doe, FOR TAXIDERMY, with my KA-BAR, and she came out fine. i use my KA-BAR more than any other knife out there.

but, whatever your good with, as long as its sharp, will do the job
