Inexpensive knives; expertise on Sharpening
I use an inexpensive Schrade gut hook knife, a company gift, from the mid nineties.
I even used a Schrade pocket knife, just showing off, to gut a deer and skin out its hide. Too bad I lost it.
No longer believe that young idea of a great big hunting knife and a large flashlight.

Havalon makes a great knife, it uses a scalpel blade so when it gets dull you just swap the blade.

I also like the Outdoor Edge caping knife, and its not just for caping. Its designed to be easy to control.

It also comes in a folding version, this is the one that I have.

As centaur 1 said, Outdoor Edge are great knives. I have 3 of the folding version(Caper Lite), and one of the fixed blade(Kodi Caper). For a guthook, I have this combo pack of saw and Whitetail Skinner. They are all I need to field dress and take the meat off the bone in a hurry. I have used many over the years, but these are my favorites. My fav before these was a combo pack I got from ordering a 5 yr subscription to Buckmasters. It came with 2 knives in one sheath, with rubber handles and finger grips. They are also great knives. I believe they were made by Buck.

Can't really go wrong with gerber, shrade, or buck. I've been using the same shrade knife for 14 years. It was $60 when I bought it and it still guts deer, squirrel, and pretty much anything else I would hunt just fine. My recommendation is that you get something with a strong steel blade, good handle, and a hook tip on it.
Here are some random ones I found on cabelas website

i prefer the case leather hunter knives ... made right here in the usa ..... nice 6 too 10 inch over all clip style blade very durable holds an edge... not as wide as the buck knives comes with a sheath...even make one now with a gut hook... I have had mine now for 30 years and it was handed down to me from my father... both my boys have the same knife and i bought one for my wife .I would never hunt with a different knife http://www.wrcase.com/knives/fixed_b...tem=%270385%27.
