There are many great knife manufacturers that produce many models. Like most things hunting, choice of knife is personal. What's right for one might be all wrong for another.

Buck makes great knives. I own more than a few.

When I hunt, I carry only one knife, this one:



I've had it for at least 25 years.

Many times I've taken only this knife on Rocky Mountain trips. However, I've picked up one of these for heavy cutting as when boning elk:



I might take it to the Rockies this October. But since I'll be hunting only mule deer, I'll probably take only my Boker Tree Brand Classic 2002.

As long as the steel is from Solingen, Germany, I'm good.

BTW, I've bought three Solingen Boker knives. I've always managed to find them at prices far below MSR prices.

Oh yeah, I do have a Havalon Baracuda bone saw. Baracuda knife blades supposedly work well for skinning. But so far, my Solingen Boker Tree Brand Classic 2002 has performed flawlessly whether it's gutting or skinning.

If you're considering a Boker knife, it might behoove you to assure that it's manufactured in Solingen, Germany. Boker does have a line of knives that's manufactured in South America. I have no idea what steel is used on these knives.
