These are my favorite.  My dad has an original one that he bought when he was 17 (about 1980), maybe someday I will get to give it to my kid since I already have one.

Had a SOG field pup for a few years and switched to the SOG Hunter Revolver.  A great knife combo, excellent steel, and can do just about every needed for game. :tup:

Hit Ranshadow1 up on here if you want a knife that'll last.

I've got these 2 from him.
If I'm not packing one of them I love the Havalon Piranta Edge for field dressing, skinning, caping etc but it's not a "pretty" knife. When it gets dull, you change the blade. It's like a scalpel setup.

The Havalon Piranta is a great knife as long as you remember to carry extra blades and an extra sturdy knife for the tough separation work.

You can do all the seperation work without a knife. Elbow grease will do it. I have the Piranta holster as I don't trust it clipped in my pocket. I carry the knife and 6 blades. I did a whole deer with one blade on sunday including caping it.

How much for a Havalon Piranta Edge Ranshadow1?

if youre looking for a budget knife check out the mangnum line by boker. i picked up their elk hunter knife this summer cost $20 and thats a steal. made of AUS8 steel and a root wood handle, have skinned and deboned 2 deer with it so far this year and it will still shave my arm hair with ease. great knife especially for the price and im sure it will outlast me

Lotta great knives out there. Of all of the knives I own, I still carry (and depend) on my trusty old Case 2159 Lockback knife I received as a gift from my dad. It's my go to hunting knife. I've skinned and caped a lot deer and bear with it. It's also a great horseman knife too. Ya never know when you'll need to have it when you're around horses. It's been a dependable knife and it keeps a keen edge.

I went to the Havalon about six years ago and have not ever looked back.

I still use the Buck 110 folder I got back in 94. Gets sharp and holds the edge pretty well.
