RE: field dressing/skinning knife, I need a new one
I have been using a kershaw blade trader knife for the past 5 years or so. In my books its the best knife you can get. It has a slim blade, a wider blade with a guthook for skinning as well as a bonesaw blade. The handle pivots open and just swap the blades around. It holds an edge that will shave paper and has a lifetime warranty i believe. I typically use the wider blade most of the time, the gut hook is razor sharp and will split a hide from neck to nuts in a second. I have not yet used the bonesaw blade because i have an electric meat saw so I am unable to comment on that. If the blades become to seem loose in the handle just shim it up with a slice of masking tape and your rockin' again. Its a great setup and you will find that lots of guys on here use that knife.
