GWB,
What's the bottom knife in the brisket of the set showing your "Clark Kent EDC?"
Thanks.

Frank That is my "two handed Brisket-Breaker". Dale Howe who posts here as Mtnman1 fashioned that for me. Here is his website should you want to contact him outside 24hourcampfire........ http://www.howemtnknives.com/Local custom here is not to field dress, but to bring the carcass back whole to camp where we have a lighted skinning rack. We hang our critters from the hind legs using a gambrell. For years I used a Cold Steel "Outdoorsman" for the task of splitting the brisket in order to facilitate removal of the "innards", but Dale was kind enough to accomodate my request for a knife that I could grasp with two-hands for the downstroke. Yes I could use a hatchet, or camp axe or saw, but I like using a knife. JAPPF, GWB

My knives are nothing special. But as long as they are sharp they work as well as any others.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Buck Vanguard. I love this thing. 'Twas the sharpest knife out-of-the box that I've ever had. FC I really like the looks of this one. I need to find one locally to handle. I have big hands, I'm 6'5" and it is hard to find a knife that is comfortable in my hands to work with.
Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!! I am happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls right now!! Joe.

That's a nice sturdy knife with a pleasant ergos good heft and girth for XL/XXL hands IMO.

The Buck Vanguard is a great pattern. Like I said before, I especially like the Cabela's version with s30v.

My hands are anything but big, but it just fits me well. I believe Bud's Gun Shop has the Vanguards < $50.
I got mine from an online shop in Louisiana. They were a tad more expensive, but service was fine.
