I have a pretty good collection of knives. Not as many as some, but to me, it's a pretty good selection.

I even have one that was custom made, it's an awsome skinning knife and holds an edge forever...The thing is, the steel is so hard it would take six hundred years of dragging it across a stone to re-sharpen it.

But here is what I have found out over the years: It really does'nt matter what kind of knife you use, if you take your time, you will end up with a quality job in the end.

For what it's worth, I always seem to come back to the "old" Buck 110 folding lock blade. It's easy to sharpen and do the work, but if you break it, you don't really have that much invested in it.
