For my needs, a fixed-blade, drop point with a lightweight synthetic handle would be ideal. Doesn't need to be pretty, but it shouldn't freeze may hands when handling it bare-handed in the cold. Also shouldn't be slippery when wet and needs to hold an edge.

I have several knives I take hunting, none of which completely fit that description. Last knife I bought was a drop point at the tourist trap stores in YellowStone National Park several years ago. Cheap and from China but it works well, just which the handle material was different.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

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