There are a lot of good knives out there but I would probably default to a Buck. Last Wednesday before dark I killed two doe whitetails. I gutted, skinned, and quartered them with my Dad's old 110 that I sent back to Buck to have the blade replaced. I cut through the sternums. I did not have to stop at any point to sharpen it. When I started in had a fresh shaving edge and when I finished, it would still drag on arm hair and try to shave. I freshened up the edge quite easily in about 5 minutes on a Soft Arkansas yesterday afternoon. Its ready for more mayhem. I think Bucks hold an edge well enough for anything I'll ever need to do, sharpen easily, and are dirt cheap for what you get.
