Condor Bushlore. It is a perfect fixed blade for skinning, quartering, and cutting meat from the bone for processing. It is high carbon steel and holds its edge at least as well as any of the much more expensive knives I own, even in the exotic and powdered steels. The game changer is the price. They are somewhere around $35 on Amazon, so it is replaceable if one were to be lost. I have not lost one yet, but you better believe that my heart will be broken if I lost the one I carry. It's my first one and I have done a lot of work to it. BB

Ive carried two for decades
the old timer sharp finger for most field dressing meat related work and a cold steel kukri for the heavy stuff that a small knife has difficulty with

Case Sharks tooth folder. Better than any Buck knife made.

My favorite folding pocket knife is Kershaw Oso Sweet assisted opening, my favorite big folder/defense/heavy duty is the discontiinued CRKT Hammond Cruiser, and my all time favorite fixed blade ixed blade is a custom knife I had made to my specs with elk antler handle, and heat treated high carbon steel hollow ground drop point about 4.5" long blade.

Buck Omni folding blade with the gut hook. I love having a deer knife that fits in my pocket. Done with the fixed blades that hang up on everything.

I like my Muela hand made knife with antler handle. Muela is a popular brand for hunting knives which are made in Toledo, Spain. They are also very reasonably priced, I've seen them here in the U.S. but they are not so popular, and a little overpriced. If you ever go to Spain, stop by a good knife shop and it will have a lot of Muela knives. They range from 60 euros for a decent hunting knife up to thousands of euros for limited edition knives.

Toledo, Spain has been known for centuries for metalworking.

when hunting deer i carry my case folding 2 blade knife. one blade is for gutting and the other is for skinning.

Havalon Piranta Folding Replaceable Blade
 

I've had lots of knives as all of you have had. I tripped across a Havalon Piranta Folding Knife with a Replaceable blade on Amazon for $20 something bucks. It comes with a scabbard and 10 replaceable blades. I have completely skinned 3 elk with it and only use one blade on each elk. Still have 7 more years to go before I need to spend 9 dollars and get new blades (sharpen my knife).

kershaw alaskan blade trader. best friend bought me this for christmas 3 years ago. best knife I've used, holds edge so well.

Vintage Made in USA Knives
 

I have an old Western of Boulder that is probably my favorite with a Browning sheath I found for it.

also like the 1980's S&W American Series knives made for S&W by Vermont Knives.

This one is my favorite. I like drop pointed knives as working knives. Pointed knives are for fighting and kitchens to me. I bought the blank and made the handle myself from a cherry burle from my firewood pile. I don't see the picture loading. Its on this link.

Buck 119 is one of mine!

I have a knife made by Mike Connors that keeps its edge and looks incredible.

While hunting I always carry my leatherman wave. I love a fixed blade but for general hunting there is nothing my leatherman can't handle. For cleaning game I am now using the Havalon Talon fixed blade knife. Great feel like a regular fixed blade with thick razor sharp blades. I have a few of the standard havalon and gerber razor knives but don't like the thin blades on them. The talon fixed all those issues.

i love so much damacus knife, because it so beautiful <3

For butchering I use victorinox it's what most grocery store butchers use.

What you think about Jerry Fisk's knives? I have one :)

I like the older Buck 110 knife for hunting. But I also enjoy carrying a utility knife with a rug/shingle blade in it for dressing.. The utility knife with that blade in it makes opening game up without any worries on hitting the guts or anything..

A few years ago, a man gave me a knife he made as part of a new hobby. He'd admitted to being an alcoholic and had taken up bladesmithing to keep his mind busy as part of his recovery.

It's a very special blade.

I refused to use the knife at all until I had a deer down and it was ready to be field dressed.

the sharade woodsman , is a great value, you really will generally
have a very hard time finding anything that works as well for 3-5 times the price,
yes that old timer sharp finger is also a damn good value.
Ive used both and have a small preference for the first or upper knife pictured

two decent values in less expensive hunting knives
