RE: field dressing/skinning knife, I need a new one
I use a Buck Zipper. I chose to get the rubber handle on it so that it wouldn't slip when wet. It holds an edge fairly well and the guthook on the backside is really handy. I've also got a Case folder that I used for a couple years before getting the Buck. The Case takes and holds a better edge, but I don't care for the clip point for deer work...it's much nicer having a drop point for skinning.
