I've got a whole box full of Buck knives that don't go anywhere anymore. For the past 10 years or so my knife is a folding Gerber Gator with a 3 inch blade and a rubberized handle. That's all I use in the woods. When I get to boning out the deer I may grab one of the larger Bucks... but it's really not necessary. This Gerber will rip open a chest cavity and do anything I want.
