I always have my Benchmade mini nitrous stryker (907). Love the spring assist and it stays pretty sharp. Been carrying it for a couple of years now every day. Before that was a full size stryker but I found the mini to be a better size to carry.

Allot of people use regular hunting knives for skinning or gutting. When i killed my elk this year, my buddy laughed at me when i pulled my knife out. He grabbed a new knife he started using this year, havalon knives, and started hacking away at my elk. It was unbelievable how sharp the blade stayed and that if it got dull, he carried replacement blades in his pack. They worked like razor blades, and one blade did (skinned and deboned) my whole elk and skinned the skull.
This is why we started carrying them, it might not be something you are interested in but they are fair priced, blades are cheap for as long as they can be used and it is really nice not to be able to not have to spend a whole night sharpening it. Needless to say, i replaced my heavy knife with one of the new lightweight havalon.

Daily carry is a Gerber Metolius Clip folder I just got a few weeks ago. My old carry knife is Schrade Old Timer 80T. Unless me and the other half go out to dinner then its an Schrade uncle Henry 897UH.
