True that^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's not saying I don't like a nice custom though....
As far as having a shoe box full of em that never get used....that's another story but to each his own...

I don't hunt big game any more but when I did I mostly used a couple of old carbon steel junkers....

Those two (Estwing and Northwoods) saw a lot of use but these days I like a smaller B&T type pattern...I have three or four but the nicest is a little stag handled Miller Made....always have some kind of folder in my pocket too but who doesn't.....

3-3.5 inch with a slight drop a bit of tip and a slight belly. Handle material varies between micarta and stabilized woods. S30V. An Ingram #7 or Lite Hunter fits the bill nicely.

Buck Pathfinder is a damned good one.

Just picked up a Pathfinder and Woodsman myself in the last couple weeks to go with my General, Special, and Skinner. The Skinner has been my "go to" knife for 30 years, although I've experimented with a dozen or so other knives. Hope to try the Woodsman & Pathfinder this year on a couple deer.

I even used my General last year to field dress a deer, just so I could say I did it. Gotta admit it was pretty dicey reaching up in there with 7 1/2" of blade though.

I've got the special, pathfinder, and woodsman. I like them all, but the pathfinder is my favorite. Small enough to easily deal with a trout and big enough to deal with big game. Plus it is dead sexy.

Sorry for the poor photos of my Minnick MI-024. Notice how the shank is tapered between the form fitting, riveted, ambidextrous grips of hardwood. 3-1/4" blade (cutting edge).

I have a weakness for Time Wegner designed folders from Spyderco or Bladetech. The original Spyderco C48 is probably my favourite.

I tend to use a locking folder with a 3" to 3 3/4 " blade usually with synthetic handles. I have a western of the same series assavage 99s but with a slightly larger single clip point. I have a gerber w drop point . I also have a large boker plus sod buster w lock back that I tend to carry and I just acquired a kershaw injection 3.5 that will probably go this year . I'm a knife slut and have a box full. There are a lot of good knives out there for not much $ . The little kershaw was under $15 and its a good sturdy knife that sharpens wicked sharp.

Always liked the looks of those, but never got one before they were discontinued.

I sold a small & large Spyderco Wegner in the classifieds a year or two ago. Didn't care for the curved and arched profile of the handle.

K1500 has the right idea, have one just like it. Had it for 40 plus years.
