I carry 3 knives for gutting/cleaning. I carry a full size foldable gerber that is razor sharp for the majority of the work. I also carry a gerber zipper style gut hook for opening the body cavity. I also carry a 4" flexible steel Rapala fillet knife with me. I cut the cornhole out like Rob mentioned, but I use this rapala knife to do that part. Itis flexible enough and skinny enough to get in there without getting in the way of the pelvic bones and you never accidentally cut something that you don't want to by accident. Once the cornhole is cut out, I cut a 3" piece of my boot laces oruse zip ties from my pack that I put around it to make sure no poop squeezes out when Ipull the cornhole attached to theguts up and out of the body cavity. Works like a charm and I never end up having to smell guts or getting junk on the meat.
