I have a Buck two knife set and keep two otthers in my pack as back up. I don't worry about splitting bone in the woods. Get the deer back to the house, hang in the garage and skin it while it's still warm. cape comes off much easier. Then after it's good and cool the bone saw comes out. Or I just spend the $40 and take it to the butcher and they do it all. There's no reason why you need to split the brisket or pelvis to field dress you animal. Just reach in and scoop it out.
