I own a lot of knifes but i like the gerbers. I have one from the military on a spring with a Japanese cut style instead of the drop point style. It's great for gutting fish and game. I keep all of my knifes sharp. I also use a sheepshead cut knife for skinning contrary to a skinning knife. My skinning usually consists of pulling off the hide with my hands so i use the extremely sharp point on it to ease only tough places. I also have a Ka-bar fighting knife which is great for heavy duty stuff.

I like gerber knifes for almost anything. Winchester makes a good knife but gerbers just fell right in your hand.

I would say the alaskan blade trader. Three interchangable blades. Easy to sharpen and sharp out of the box.

A buck zipper. I have had it for more than 10 years. The first moring I used it I gutted and skinned 4 wildhogs. It was still sharp afterward! My hunting companion ever since.

A Queen Cutlery D2 bird knife is always with me. Gerber's Gator S30V B&C is my current favorite hunting blade, but I pine for a Dozier, with his D2 blade and cocobolo scales. Fixed blades are so much easier to clean than folders. I love zippers but never another one on my blade - still looking for a thin, lightweight, high quality SS gut hook. Gerber seems to offer the best value. Their shears are also excellent.

I have a couple of buck knives that I use all the time. I use the Alaskan fillet knives for fish, they work great when they are sharp. As long as you keep them sharp, I hate a dull knife.

from Edward J. Palumbo wrote 3 years 15 weeks ago

This is so personal a choice that any recommendation I make will be no more valid than others who have good reason to praise their knives. I prefer fixed blade, full tang knives as often as not, because a folder may trap blood or other contaminants in the handle. I relied on a Buck Skinner for many years and wore out the sheath (easily replaceable) before I wore out the knife. I purchased the same Buck knife as birthday or Christmas gifts for friends, and none of them have ever voiced any disappointment.
A friend recently purchased a Buck Omni-Hunter, which looks like an intelligently designed knife, so I certainly agree with bomberpride.
The Gerber Freeman Hunter and Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter are other fine choices. Choosing one (1) knife is as difficult as choosing one rifle or sidearm, so I wish you the best of luck in isolating your choice, but I'm inclined to think if you handle the ones that appeal to you most, one of them will "fit" or feel just a bit better than the others.

I love the rambo knife but it might be too j=heavy to take hunting. I settle for gerber, buck or Alaskan Guide for a hunting knife they all make great knives.

I have a custom knife made by Texas knifemaker Don Robinson. It is a drop-point skinning knife with a mesquite handle. Keeps an awful keen edge and it's full tang, with a four-inch blade. If you can afford it, a good custom knife from a true artisan is just awful hard to beat. Regardless, keep the tool sharp and it shouldn't let you down.

I use buck knifes for everything, but it comes down to the knife being sharp, staying sharp, and fitting your hand well. Listen to the advise, than go out and find the knife that fit's you well.

The old Marbles knives will take an absolutely terrifying edge. For all but the most delicate skinning work, they can be made almost too sharp. The drawback is that these knives are worth so much now that most of them wind up in the hands of collectors. The best examples can go for several hundred dollars. They have released new versions of most of the classics, but I can't say whether the original quality is still there. I use a Buck 119 and a Buck 110 for most of my field dressing and skinning chores. They are a bit difficult to sharpen to the keen edge I like, but once sharp, they hold an edge forever. I field dressed 4 deer and skinned 5 with my 119 one season before sharpening it.

My favorite knife is a havalon knife. It is a scalpel knife, and it is as sharp as a knife can get. The advantage of havalon knives is never having to sharpen a blade. When it gets dull, remove it and replace with a new blade. It's that easy. You can check out havalon knives at www.havalon.com. For your information, I am not in the business of selling havalon knives, and I am not paid for endorsing their products. I just have one and it works great for caping, skinning and field dressing big game animals.
