Knives you like most in the field

I carry a 24 year old Buck folder that has a green plastic handle..it may be a 110 bucklite? I also carry a Gerber folding Gator with "gut hook". In 2012 A friend gave me a nice used Randall #21 for my 50th Birthday. I have cleaned 4 deer with it so far. I showed my #21 to a Randall dealer, he took pics of it and said the blade shape was not like the other #21's he had seen.so mine is a rare one..

I carry a LaClair Skinner. It's a great knife and I think it's an incredible value.

As Allan mentioned above, there's some incredible talent on Tradgang when it comes to knife building. I'm reminded of the value of that talent every time I see a joint effort auctioned off on St. Judes Auction. Hopefully we'll see another joint effort this June-for the kids of course.

My Doug Campbell knives. They have cleaned a lot of game. Only sharpening needed is a quick strop on leather or a steel. Awesome craftsmanship .

I skinned a quartered an entire cow moose with a fold up havalon. Use it on all my deer too.

I've skinned and boned four moose with a Havalon. Last year I thought I was going to have to be airlifted after I slipped and stuck the blade into my wrist and began projectile bleeding.

I folded my wrist over and wrapped it tight with a game bag and it finally clotted. BE CAREFUL WITH HAVALONS...

Havalons also are great deboneing knives

Here's one I made myself 3 years ago. It's been through over 70 deer, 12 hogs, 8 coons & 3 beaver. All from field to freezer, along with countless camp-chores & kitchen duty. As far as I'm concerned, it's THE perfect hunting knife.
