RE: What Knife to buy?
any knife will do...as long as you know how to put an edge on it, i dont know why some peopleactlike theirafraid to sharpen their knifes.....i use a 30 year old 4 inch normark fillet knife... worksfine for skinning...and you can use any knife for gutting...usually i just use my 4inch fillet for the whole deer...its all you need..(along with some kind of bone saw) it only takes about a minute to unzip game with it. usually ill touch it with my steel a few time throu the whole process to keep it RAZOR sharp.
I thought about spending some money on a fancy knife....but what for a 100$ knife doesn't do any more tricks for you than a 20$ knife...believe me.
