Default RE: What type of knife do you use?

I have a pretty good collection of knives. Not as many as some, but to me, it's a pretty good selection.

I even have one that was custom made, it's an awsome skinning knife and holds an edge forever...The thing is, the steel is so hard it would take six hundred years of dragging it across a stone to re-sharpen it.

But here is what I have found out over the years: It really does'nt matter what kind of knife you use, if you take your time, you will end up with a quality job in the end.

For what it's worth, I always seem to come back to the "old" Buck 110 folding lock blade. It's easy to sharpen and do the work, but if you break it, you don't really have that much invested in it.

I have used thse buck folding hunter and the gerber gators and both work well. My brother in-law works for case and gave me an exchanger 3 years ago and it a great knife. It's what I use now.
LeeinVa , the exchanger is still being made. It comes with a forth blade now for filleting.

I've been using a old Timer fixed blade with a gut hook and a big green Kraton handle... It aint much to look at but it works great when it gets bloody. i also carry a Buck 105 I found hunting about 14 years ago.. it a good back up. I always carry a folder, right now I have a small Gerber folder. These dang tanks are always seeming to eat my knives up... I also feel uncomfortable if I dont have my old leatherman on me...

Randal knives are very very nice. I have a cold steel that I am quite pleased with, but when it comes to cleaning game, I have found that a 35mm film container full of new razor blades comes in handy.

I use a GatorĀ® folding drop point, but the blade is made with CM-154 and not 400 Series stainless steel like the new ones.
I've skinned at least 4 deer with it, and it hasn't lost its edge.

I'm very happy with it.

I use Gerber, Buck, and Ka-Bar knives. I do like Buck knives the best though.

I kinda collect knives so I own quite a few. Not all are hunting knives though.
My favorite hunting knife is custom made from high quality stainless bar stock. I don't remember what type of steel. After rough cutting the knife, it is sent out to be cyrogenicaly treated for hardness and temper. It was made by a friend that got into knife making. The guy is an craftsman.
This particular knife is a 4" drop point with cocco bolo scales.
I got the knife in 1999. So far, I've field dressed 20 deer with it.
