I always have a neck knife with some essentials attached, but other than that, just a buck folder and a sharp hatchet.

I carry a Leatherman, and have a Browning skinner, as well as a Benchmade folder. Have a few other single blades I usually carry to the skinning shed as well.

I have my gerber multi-tool as well as an old timer I have had for years. I also carry a folding saw that I got on clearance for like $8 that I can cut trees with and it makes quick work of the pelvic area as well as the ribcage if I am going to cut that high.

I take a Buck 110 Folding hunter, and then also a multi-tool with me. Haven't found that I need any other blades.

I have a Case knife that my dad bought me many years ago. The sheath is hard plastic and not as nice as the fancy leather ones, but I learned quickly to appreciate its design. After gutting a deer and putting the bloody, fat, and fur covered knife back in you just run hot water through the sheath and there are two drain holes in the bottom. Very easy clean up.

I can't see a reason to buy a new one any time soon.

I use a Browning three blade folder. One drop point, one gut hook w/razor and one saw blade. With the exception of larger branches over 2in, (rare that I remove them) this knife will handle anything I need it to do.

I use a full size ka-bar knife for the last 10 years. It's a little big for some people but I have no problems with it. I use it for everything, chopping, skinning, gutting, ect.

Buck 110
Cold Steel Bird and Trout
Gerber multi-tool

I gotta get me another Outdoor Edge Whitetail though. Mine is somewhere on the bottom of the Llano River. [&o] That really is a handy blade once you get used to it.

I use a small folding browning knife,it is about the size of my index finger unfolded.That's all I need for gutting.While setting stands I will have a gerber or browning limb saw with me.

I like my police issue Smith& Wesson knife

I've got a whole box full of Buck knives that don't go anywhere anymore. For the past 10 years or so my knife is a folding Gerber Gator with a 3 inch blade and a rubberized handle. That's all I use in the woods. When I get to boning out the deer I may grab one of the larger Bucks... but it's really not necessary. This Gerber will rip open a chest cavity and do anything I want.

I have a nice buck knife that has a three inch blade that I like taking with me..I used to take the larger folding buck knife 110 but I have retired that one.

I carry these two. The knife's no better than any other knife - just thought it looked cool. The saw rocks - itrips through everything: heavy bone, wood, flesh, etc...

RE: because knife was a must have! ...
 
I hunt most of the time by myself so I go in knife heavy. You never know when you will need what. I thought I had all of my knives pictures here at work but I don't. So I will post the two that I have and the rest later.


I bought this kit for skinning


Top Left - CUTCO...for the guy looking for one. This one gets strapped to my side and stays there.
Top Right - Best skinning knife there is.
Bottom Right - spare knife
Bottom Left - knife my dad brought back from Vietnam. Great knife for hitting or getting through bone.
