i agree...an ole knife is fine for guttin deer...many guys go WAY overboard IMO with "guttin knives"
i use a case "trapper" knife with 2 blades...usually always using the very pointy blade...
many guys make gutting a deer into some surgical process when IMO it doesnt need to be...im the guy that got the deer gutted and hands cleaned before the person that killed it got their tag filled out...a couple minutes and im outta there...just no need to get fancy...and no need for a fancy knife. a GOOD sharp blade is all thats needed...i love my trapper knife and always got it in my pocket...
the key is a good sharp blade...most guys carry mini machetes...i dont know what in the world they are doing with those things...if they are guttin deer with somethin that size they aint doin a good job...100$ can buy you 2 or 3 real nice knives to gut deer with.....
