I've read the basics on HG blades and understand how they are created and the obvious benefit if being exceedingly sharp, great for slicing, which translates well into skinning & dressing a deer.

In general, do you guys insist on HG blades, have a few as go-tos for certain tasks, or not put muchgstock into the HG approach?

I'm just interested in how much of a 'must-have' the HG blade is on a hunter.
