For a production grade knife hard to beat the Knives of Alaska.  I love the bear cub.

I use an AG Russell folding semi skinner. I generally like a small 3in semi skinner for all game processing. You need a sharp knife not a big one.

Do you know what is better than a small sharp knife? That's right! It is a big sharp knife.      :bigsmyl:   [/b]
Well I do also carry a 7in Marbles Trailmaker in my backpack for when things get heavy...

I am really liking the looks of that Laclair Skinner, anybody use these before?
I've got one and really like it!  I'm able to put a shaving edge one it using a med. arkansas stone.  It's got a thick spine and the handle feels good in the hand.  I chose the canoe sheath which is my first of that style and I've discovered how handy it is.... I don't even know it's their till I need it.

All the photos are of very pretty knives - however if you just want a knife to get the work done, I have been using a "Green River" knife for nearly 30 years.  All the major butchers use Green River knives.  Easy to sharpen and keep sharp.

My brother made this knife about 15 years ago for my late Father-in-law. It was his 205th knife at that time. 440 stainless steel and sandbar stag. A little tough to sharpen, but stays sharp. It has my Father-in-laws initials and holds a lot of sentimental value to me. I've used it to field dress 3 deer this year.

Medium buck lite in my back pocket and a Hefner sheath knife on my belt don't ever use the sheath knife but I know it's there if needed

I'm looking forward to getting back in my forge...been a rough 2014 with total knee replacement & just recently back surgery.  I'm really starting to feel human again.  I'll be pounding hot steel by the end of January.  Hopefully making a few more favorites...tippit

A Tippit?  Now that's a special knife.

Glad to hear you are doing better Jeff.

Hard to beat a buck 112 or 110.  Carried one for years. I switched to a kersaw Alaskan blade trader over a decade ago and never looked back and won't ever own another hunting knife for the rest of my life.  Found my perfect knife.
