Quick question: If you had to choose just one pocket knife, which knife would that be?

Are we designing one?  Or something already on the market?

One pocket knife would not serve all needs, but in terms of bowhunting, I carry a folding knife from Browning. I have had it so long, I can't remember the model number. Also, I have dressed out a lot of deer with a Case Sodbuster.

Wish I could say that we´re designing one, but I´m going for an existing one. Lost my good Swiss Army knife, and looking for a replacement.

Get another swiss army!

I like any of the belt tools such as leatherman or gerber.

Agree with Monterey.  Little better than the SAK, Leatherman tool, or Gerber tool.

I am pretty fond of the Case Trappers Model if we are speaking knives and not multi tools.  the only draw back is it doesn't lock but I have never had a knife fold shut on me anyhow.

There needs to be a leatherman type tool for the traditional archer, with a knife blade, a 3/16 allen key(for 3pc. bow designs) an extendable ruler to check brace and nock height, a small file for edge touch ups etc,etc.

Hard to beat a sak centurion for every day carry.  I'm constantly using the Phillips screw driver and the blade is plenty large and locking for most field dressing chores.

I carry a bench made locking folder. Not a multi tool just a knife..

Victorinox Camper.  It even has a little saw blade.

 

But happily I don't have to choose just one.         When I'm in a tree stand I like to have a spring assist opener large single blade as well in the edge of a front pants pocket.

Kershaw Turbulence or Knockout or a CRKT HeiHo, etc.

Any good lock back folder will be good, Buck, Case, Schrade [older ones], Camillus. Even a 3 blade stockman is a handy one to have in your pocket. It's a personal choice......I have way to many knives.......I like it that way.....  

If I was picking knife and not multi tool.  I use a case Folding hunter if I could only have one.  Big enough to skin out any game in the state of KY and holds a good edge for everyday chores.  The large trapper would run a close second for me.  I like to find the ones with chrome vanadium blades.  They take and hold an edge better IMHO

I don't care for folders when field dressing.  My favorite for that is a Izula II and neck sheath.  ALWAYS on my neck during hunting season . . . so I don't forget it.  ;-)


 

2-1/2" blade that is sharp, stays sharp and is easy to resharpen when needed.

Leatherman for me, very handy little knife.

My German Eye Double muskrat is my go to knife for everything in Ohio. On western trips I carry a Leatherman Super tool. The serrated blade is good enough to skin, quarter, cape and bone out a whole elk without sharpening.

I'm with stumpkiller all the way!  I love my izula II in the woods, and I carry the smaller candiru everyday, just dropped into my back pocket.  I've stopped carrying folding knives altogether.

Hard to beat the little Izula II,my all time favorite.        

I usually carry at least a couple but the one that comes out of my pocket most often is the Swiss Army Camper like Stumpkiller's except with black scales.

That little saw is a lot handier than one would imagine.

 
I carry this everywhere, a gfa mini.  On my belt in town or fishing, on my neck while hunting. Use it for 90% of my needed tasks, easy to sharpen, holds an edge and can strike a fero rod. For a folder I carry a schrade trapper on occasion
