RE: What type of knife do you use?
I have a ton of knives and am kind of a collector. When it comes to what I use most? The Buck-lite folders I like a short blade so there is not so much to sharpen. I do use one bigger knife, a Cold Steel Master Hunter.

RE: What type of knife do you use?
I use a case exchanger, has three blades that can be exchanged on the handle, two are knife blades and one is a saw blade which i use to cut through the pelvic bone. i found over the years that a case will remain sharp when other fail. Not sure if they even make them now, but when i did get my hands on them, i bought six and gave them to some of my friends.

RE: What type of knife do you use?
I have used numerous knives for deer. My favorite so far is the Knives of Alaska Yukon hunter, which has now been discontinued. I found that out after I sold it and got a custom made knife. Had I known that is was going to be discontinued I woud have kept it.
That Yukon kept an edge better than any other knife I had, it was very sturdy and I had no problems cutting thru the chest cavity of a deer, and it fit my hands perfectly. I hope to be able to pick up a used one before next season.
I went thru several Remingtons that just fell apart after two seasons.
So far, I like this custom made knife, but I jsut miss that Yukon!

RE: What type of knife do you use?
always had a Buck for deer hunting. Had a couple stolen and got a Camillus - I like them - they make a good knife. I also purchased a new Buck with a guthook. I works pretty good. Need to get the "hang" of it - meaning getting the hook thru the hide and tissue. Litlle tought to do with a "fat" deer, but I still like it. One thing I did notice is that the fancy wooded handle gets slick when wet (bloody). Rubber handle would be better.

I bought a Puma folder in 82. It broke last year. A small piece of the locking mechanism broke off . I sent it back to Puma, they sent me a new one back. After 25 yearsof use they still replaced it. Now thats standing behind a product!

I have used a Buck Zipper with the Sure-Grip handle for the last ten years or so. It's the best field dressing knife for deer that I've ever used.

I use the gerber gator with the ats34 drop point blade.I also have the newer version with the cm154 blade.Both sharpen to a very fine edge and hold the edge much longer than any other blade that I have used.For $65 canadian they are a great buy.
