If you are looking for a knife specifically for field dressing deer-sized game and nothing else, IMHO nothing beats a "Wyoming Knife" http://www.wyomingknife.com/knives.htm

Spyderco,I've had mine for ten years it's done all my field dressing and skinning, I bone them out with a fillet knife.

I usually look for a length of about 3"-4"you dont want to big or you could easily cut your self when doing the lung cavity. you dont need no big honkin davy crocket/ crocodile hunter (no this is a knife) kind of thing.

I dont think the gut hook is necisary and it does not work a great deal better in my oppinion. you cant hardly find a knife w/o the gut hook now adays (at least in basspro/cabelas).

FYI: I bought a couple in the wal-marts. still have them. they cost no more than about 10 bux and work great. I just make shure to check them at begining of season, and sharpen them up if need be. they are the winchester searies. nice knives

I won't go into the woods without having several knives on me, different types, sizes and shapes for different uses.

I used a Buck 110 for years. Folders are handy and easy to carry, but you've got to get all the blood and crud washed out of the works or they'll wind up smelling like road kill.

A really great knife, though it's kinda funky to get used to at first, is an Outdoor Edge Whitetail Skinner. You'd be amazed how many ways there are to grip that knife and use it in awkward situations.

My favorite fixed blade is a Helle Nying, which is what they're presently calling a Super Fjording on their website. 2 3/4" blade, traditional Scandanavian design, very light and easy to use. Triple laminated Swedish steel. Best knife I've got. They've got all kinds of knives and cover a wide price range. You'll find something you like.

Pretty interesting devise.

Below to the right is my pelvis splitter. And if I get bored, some dead trees or stumps will suffer.

I have used a Case stockman for years. I have some other "hunting" knives but a good pocket knife works fine for me.

I like knives with a thick solid blade. Mine is one of the bigger buck knives (black and silver handle - very common, around $40). I like the thick blades for cutting the pelvic bone. Sometimes it can be tough and a small knife might have problems. Although, I have a zip saw that I could use, I just hate having another tool to clean. I actually have 2 of the buck knives now - one smaller one for skinning and to throw in the backpack.

I use the Alpha Crosslock andit works pretty good. The key is to keep the blade sharp.
