Happily I don't have to just settle for one knife. When hunting and game doesn't have to be boned or quartered I prefer my Gerber fixed blade drop point knife and for when b&q is called for I've a Cabela's Alaskan triple combo set. Small game and trout is a Frontier 3 blade stockman style pocket and for fishing saltwater and large fresh a fixed blade Rapala that is very flexable and a fixed Blade Gerber Coho.
