What is your preferred blade length for a deer hunting knife and why?
3" Just short enough for me to get my index fingertip over the tip of the blade so when I "zip" the gut cavity open I do not puncture intestines,without cutting myself. 3" is not ideal to me to cut in around the anus to free that up ,too,but it's close enough to do the job. To me all other cuts besides these are short,trimming cuts.
