J[quote=nighthawk]Shhh! Calling a cheap knife good is a heresy. But with modern metallurgy and production methods it's easy to make a cheap, serviceable knife. Even stainless is so much better - what they use in production facilities where you work with a knife 8 hours a day. And those guys would buy knives more expensive than Victronics/Forchners if it made life better.
Just keep it sharp and you'll make it through any game animal. Dad once field dressed a deer with his cheap pipe knife and it was far from razor sharp.
Another secret is that being a "hunting knife" in most cases is a pretty easy gig for a blade. Gutting a deer? It only requires cutting some soft tissue. I expect that anything Mora makes is more than adequate.
Yep, gutting a deer can be done with a broken beer bottle.
Skinning one and breaking down quarters, that's not quite the same knife game.
