I won't go into the woods without having several knives on me, different types, sizes and shapes for different uses.

I used a Buck 110 for years. Folders are handy and easy to carry, but you've got to get all the blood and crud washed out of the works or they'll wind up smelling like road kill.

A really great knife, though it's kinda funky to get used to at first, is an Outdoor Edge Whitetail Skinner. You'd be amazed how many ways there are to grip that knife and use it in awkward situations.

My favorite fixed blade is a Helle Nying, which is what they're presently calling a Super Fjording on their website. 2 3/4" blade, traditional Scandanavian design, very light and easy to use. Triple laminated Swedish steel. Best knife I've got. They've got all kinds of knives and cover a wide price range. You'll find something you like.
