I have 10 or 12 good knives, but the two I use most are both Bucks. I always carry my old BuckLite folder in the woods with me, it really is lightweight and sharpens up fairly easily. My favorite skinner is a Buck fixed blade with the titanium coating on the blade. It is different in that only one side of the blade is sharpened. This allows the titanium to always be the cutting edge. It is "awesome" for skinning deer, and it really holds an edge. The biggest drawback is that it takes about an hour to get the edge back when it finally does get dull. It has the rubber handle which does make it a little easier to hang on to when your hands get bloody (mainly because of the checkering pattern molded in). I do have a little gut hook knife from Cabela's that I pull out sometimes, and it does help for splitting one open, but that is all I use it for. The T-shaped handle feels odd to me.

For hunting I use the Buck Zipper for most of my deer and a Woodsman for everything else.

My everyday knife is a folding Gerber with a half serrated bladed. I've carried one type or another of pocket knife for 35 years.[&:]

I own many knives, however i have a couple i use for deer and turkey and other small game. My favorite deer knife is a blade i had made with a deer antler in Red River Gorge. For turkey i use my buck knife with a gut hook.

My favorite is this one, great for splitting the pelvis bone. It's the Browning Swivel-lock. But actually, I probably have 8-10 that go with me anytime I'm in the field.

I use a "whitetail" by [link]http://www.outdoorsmansedges.com[/link] . It holds an edge great. Does take some effort to sharpen if you let it get dull. The handle is custom fitted to your specs, wood and hand size.

I use Case, Gerber, Old Timer, and Gator. Few more around here somewhere. But I hate Stainless Steel blades.
If I get one with a stainless blade I will open it and stick it in a flower pot for a few weeks to get that stainless crap off of there so I can sharpen it correctly.

I have a cold steel, but for cleaning game, I will take an empty 35mm film canister and put a few razor blades in them. The razor blades work great for cleaning deer sized game.

I use one that my buddy makes. Actually I have two. Dang good knives.

i recently bought a Buck Alpha i havent cleaned a deer with it het but its a very nice heavy knife i think it`ll work out really nicely its a smaller fixed blade knife but the blades real thick and heavy and its one of them where the blade is the handle(if you under stand what im saying) it not like them ones where they have the blade thats sorta stuck in a piece of wood this one has some rubber pieces "rivited" to the blade and it feels real good to hold dosent feel like it`ll break easy but we`ll se how it does cleaning it has a ood shape so it should do excellent but before this one i was useing a old timer fixed blade i dont think it had a model but it was a good knife it was like a $20 walmart knife but it kept a good edge

When Grandpa died, I found a Buck folder in his things, and I was allowed to keep it. I think it will do everything I will ever need it to do, and I kind of feel good carrying it!
