Just a few additional thoughts...I'm not sure that the Charge XTiis worth the extra money. You won't save any drastic amount of weight by going to titanium handles, and the standard version has stainless steel which while not completely corrosion proof is pretty decent. I find that I'm a lot more likely to use scissors in dayto day use than a guthook. When I'm likely to use a guthook I'll have my hunting knife with me, which is a Buck Zipper (has the guthook on the back of the blade). One other thing to think about...if you're using the guthook on deer, you're a lot more likely to get the rest of the tool crapped up with hair and other mess. I'd rather have something simple to clean when I'm doing that kind of work.
