That knife looks OK to me. But it is way too long and bulky for anything I would want to carry deer huntnig with me every day. Maybe if you kill larger game like elk it might be OK. But Ialways used a small knife on the few elk I have killed, with good success and no problems. And I know for sure I would not want to carry a knife that big around if in the mountains. Just an opinion.

Regardless of how much it weighs. Just too big and bulky. Tom.
