I have used numerous knives for deer. My favorite so far is the Knives of Alaska Yukon hunter, which has now been discontinued. I found that out after I sold it and got a custom made knife. Had I known that is was going to be discontinued I woud have kept it.

That Yukon kept an edge better than any other knife I had, it was very sturdy and I had no problems cutting thru the chest cavity of a deer, and it fit my hands perfectly. I hope to be able to pick up a used one before next season.

I went thru several Remingtons that just fell apart after two seasons.

So far, I like this custom made knife, but I jsut miss that Yukon!
