Any combination of these. All made by Bob Dozier.

As Brian P. above, I use a Bob Dozier as my go to knife. Most all of the Dozier affordable knives have D2 steel that he treats the metal a special way he has developed. It is hard to believe his knifes will field dress and cut up so many deer before having to touched them up. They run a little over $ 200 and one of the best values on the market.Mine is like the photo on the bottom, but green handle. A.G.Russel sells them on line also. Only sharp knifes are interesting!

Always in my pocket = Victorinox "Fieldmaster"

In my pack = Buck "Bucklite" folder

On my belt = Buck Alpha Hunter (Rosewood)


These might be either supplemented or substituded by any number of others as well depending on the exact circumstances or task to be completed.

I usually have one of a couple of pocket knives, but my go to git-er-done knife when there's meat on the ground is my Helle Veidemann blade with homemade handle.  Here it is by herself    :


And doing the honors on my first deer killed with my first homemade bow.    

Eni Meani mini moe

 

Searles Bowie

Similar to this one.

 

Mine is of a custom lot, there isnt any more

I carry a kershaw "blur" s30v for gutting and skinning  and leatherman "side clip" for other chores

A Searles bowie is on display at the Alamo, and would have been made in the 1820's-1830's

A Searles would be worth untold amounts of money! I sure hope you aren't carrying a real Searles bowie to gut deer with!!!!!

Tell us it isn't so!!!!!

You guys have some fine stuff there.  I carry a wide variety depending on what I'm doing in the outdoors.
Camillus bird knife

Couple of 60 era Pumas
 
Couple of Bucks
 
Some real tradional stuff, throwing, camp, patch, fleshing knives, canoe knife.
 

During the day, every day a Swiss Army Tinker, carried them for years.  When in the woods, a fixed blade skinner made by Jeff Dorris, Helle blade with mule deer antler handle (Very Nice)and a Gerber lock blade in my pocket.

I have this one I got from a knife maker in PA named Johnny Jones (JRJ Knives).

Love it.

 

Spyderco for everyday pocket carry, a Marbles Woodcraft on my hip for hunting, and an assortment of CRKT knives in my pack for skinning and gutting almost never use the CRKT stuff though, great knives just love my Marbles .

....catch a Randall by it's toe.....



But my EDC is a custom folder made by a feller named Don Morrow from Texas.  S student of Bill Ruple who makes some of the most drop dead gorgeous folders ever laid eyes upon.

Ive laid my Searles atop the glass case where COl Fowlers Searles rests at the Alamo.

No mine was a limited repop from a few years ago.

There were only two of that style made. Jims in the Santa Anna museum in mexico city, and Resins whom he gave to Fowler is at the alamo.

lots of copies all over the place

The hunting knife my Grandpa used (a Solingen "Original Buffalo Skinner" made in WEST Germany back in the day by a company called Widder 3 3/4" blade, stag handle), and a Leatherman.

6" Buck knife I got for Christmas as a kid from my Dad.  Works great for deer. I usually carry a smaller folding knife if I'm just after rabbit/squirrel.  For elk this fall, I'm carrying a large Gerber Blade that 'Elkherder' sent me,as main knife and probably my buck knife also.

I carry a Case Trapper I got for Christmas from my brother. I'd been looking at it for a long time at the hardware store. It was quite a nice suprise. I use it every day at the restaurant cutting limes and such when I bartend and of course on my daily Prime Rib. I can't wait for it to actually be used for it's "intended" purpose. =0)

I also have a Bucklite that I've had for years. Also got me a Buck Short Nighthawk fixed blade.

either a fallkniven njord, original puma bowie or one of the customs that lay around my car, bedroon, hunting pack.....
there's usually my 'ol trusty k bar lying around somewhere....18 years of hard hard use and still going strong....
there is nearly always a need to have my chris reeve in the car.....
don't forget my folders......
and my tool clips.....
i can't answer these questions ...my other knives get jealous....


cheers

I've had this one for 20 years. A custom folder by a fella out West who calls himself "Whiskers". It's a big knife with a 4" blade and an oosic (SP) handle.

   

Some of my "primitive" knives with my Shrew Hawk.
