RE: hunting knives...?
askin this is like askin what is the best deer round !! LOL...I have also used many different brands of knives andwill not go hunting without a good steel on my hip.my current favorite is one made by Western....easy to sharpen,rubberized handle for grip/comfort,rides nice on the belt and just plain feels right.Only complaint is it does not seem to hold an edge as long as some of my other knives but this is a minor thing as it will certainly do any job presented to it. I also own knives made by Kershaw,Buck,Gerber,and Schrade. My advice would be a good quality(doesn't need to be stupidly expensive....just good) knife made by a reputable company with a 4" (+/- 1") drop point blade.No serations and no gut hook, I have used both and still prefer a straight blade.anyway...just my 2 cents....good luck.
