Buck 110 for a folder and Helle Godbit when I carry a fixed.
I usually don't carry the fixed blade knife while using a climbing stand or climbing into trees in general.

Buck 110 with S30V as sold by Cabelas. This year I used a knife I inherited from my dad, an Old Timer Sharpfinger. I was surprised at how well I liked the design of it.

Good to see other Buck 110 users. I believe the one I posted is from the early 70's. Memory is fuzzy on exact year.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

![[Linked Image]](http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i345/AcornRidgePhotos/DSCN3005.jpg) Browning Mountain Ti. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i345/AcornRidgePhotos/HPIM4103.jpg) I carry it everyday and use it for everything. I would feel bad about buying a new one... This is just beyond perfect. Light weight, sharp, looks great, and is a slim fit in my pocket.

Field dressing ... a pair of Gerber LSTs. The "magnum" handles "outside work": throat cutting, leg removal, and and any skinning needed. The "medium" does "inside work" like cutting loose the diaphragm and the fine detail work around the anus.
(Damn, did I really say that?)
In other years I've used a Buck General, original Gerber LMF, Buck Vanguard ... they are great but the Gerber Folders are smaller and lighter and adequate to the job.
Tangent ... one time my dad didn't know he'd forgotten his knife 'til he had a buck down. He did all he could think of ... beat his empty '06 case flat with a rock, kept beating 'til he'd made a sharp spot on it, and gutted his deer with that. Seems easier to check yer pockets before leaving the house IMHO.

One of the reasons I always loved using two-blade heads for bowhunting. Pretty hard to get a knife any sharper, and, had a quiver full of backups.

this is my go to for now, its a mitchellmountain #15, as in the 15th I've made. Worked slick, A2 hardened to 60RC and rosewood burl handles. I gutted, skinned and got most of the way through boning out the meat before having to touch up the blade. Different steel really makes a difference. http:// ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa439/mitchellman23/knife.jpg) [/img]

I used a Buck 110 (actually two or three--I'm bad about losing knives) for over 30 years. In the early 1990s, a guest sent me a Kershaw Folding Field and that is what I have used ever since on deer, elk, pronghorns, feral hogs, javelina and a few Texas exotics. The one shown below is only a couple of years old, as I laid the original one down while pulling the innards out of a Colorado bull elk and never saw it again, despite hours of searching and several different trips back to the site to see if it would turn up. (Did I mention that I'm bad about losing knives?) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af247/benbrown43/DSCN0401_zpsc8d505e9.jpg)

For skinning I very much like a drop point but for field dressing it is very hard to beat the "sharpfinger" shape....

Currently either use a Linder Super Edge (bottom) or a Frost Mora ![[Linked Image]](http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l237/PeteUK24/LinderSyperEdge1a.jpg) Usually I have a lock knife of some sort as back up, but dislike using folders for gralloching work as I have seen locks fail once too often. Additionally, folders have too many nooks and crannies that get filled with blood, fat and snot, and are generally a pain to clean compared to a fixed blade..
