Got a walnut handled one in my pocket now. Cleaned a few deer with it. Got to watch out for that lock though.
My favorite is a Gerber 2" or so folder I got with a pair of Danners years ago. Light, thin and strong. Don't carry it anymore, 'cause I keep losing it. Next time I might not find it.
What fresh Hell is this?

I had a Buck 110 ... maybe the first knife I ever bought. I find that it's a hell of a lot of weight per inch of cutting edge. Fine for the truck. I prefer a lighter knife.
For a while they made the 110 with a titanium body. Should have bought one. Hell, I should have bought 3.
Instead, I get by with the Gerber LST family, a medium size one in my pocket and a "magnum" in my pack. They're cheap if I lose them, light to carry, and take and hold an edge well enough to get a deer out of the field ... that is really all the function I require.
My favorite fixed blade utility-price knife is a Buck Vanguard with the rubber handle.

Schrade 141OT, either old USA stock or new China made. If you want a nice well-balanced heavy-duty fixed-blade working knife.

I got hold of a couple of VG-10 blanks for right on $20 each. Probably the best knives for gutting and disassembling deer I'll ever get my hands on. I put curly maple on one and some nicely figured walnut on the other.been using them for 3-4 years and have yet to sharpen either one. I gutted, skinned and disassembled three deer in '13 and four in '14 with the walnut knife.
VG-10 steel is incredible stuff, but it's usually a lot more expensive. Very hard, extremely abrasion resistant, sharpens surprisingly easy. I've been using it for about fifteen years, mainly for butchering.

Tom Tom - One of my 110s has a synthetic, black plastic, handle. It is 'noticeably' lighter than the wood handle one. Actually ordered that one by mistake. My son in hi school could carry a pocket knife with a certain length. Don't remember exactly how long. I ordered this 110 syn. not realizing how long it was. I got him another and kept this one. Sharp point, excellent cutting edge and LIGHT. I don't know if they are available now or not. Jerry

How about knives? In this day of having to have a custom knife made of exotic steel forged by elves , let's hear about some of your trusty old $20 knifes that has served you well in the field.
I could go on but let's hear about your $20 favorites. In keeping with the OP's question, these Kabar Doziers are a great cut/$ value and have served me well in the field. But they are $0.23 over the price point. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...IKX0DER&pf_rd_r=00FD2BQ26AS4F5R1QTGM

jwall, wow you're up early, good morning to you. Yeah, you must be careful them(Outdoor Edge knife) 'cause they are sharp. They are also very strong unlike the easily broken Havalon Piranta replaceable blade system knife. I own a bunch of Knives, including knives from Marbles and very nice custom ones from Winston. I have an old 110 and an equally old 105 Pathfinder that have served me quite well. But these days I carry a very old Buck trapper in my pocket and an Outdoor Edge 90% of the time.

Kershaw Chill-$16.
It's my everyday carry and works well for me. Really like the clip, which is handy as hell when you are holding something with one hand and need a knife in the other. It gets used like a tool for everything from cleaning battery terminals to cutting up something dead. Worst thing about it is the word "China" on the blade...
I really can't wrap my mind around packing a $300 custom for what I need a knife for, but to each his own. Not saying that your way of thinking is wrong or that mine is right, but by that line of thinking the only gun that is worth carrying is a Ruger American in 30-06. At least when it comes to dollars spent for a piece of gear to perform a necessary function. A truly well made knife, especially hand crafted, is something that I truly enjoy. God bless, MM

Okay - Made it home. Before lunch the wife and I stopped at W W and I looked at and took a couple of pics of knives. This Buck 119 and price shown. I bought one yrs ago $30.00 This B 110 is now $28.00 MY 110 weighs - 7.4 oz This is a B 110 LITE - weighs 3 oz. Note the similarity between the 110 blade and my Remington. They are not the same but close. I like both. The Remington weighs 4 oz.

Was at Cabelas this spring, they had Kershaw 3/4 tons for $7.90. I bought 4 of them.
Very sharp, haven't used them for anything too substantial yet.

I've been using a Buck 119 for years and love it. Holds an edge very well and it's not so pricey I worry about using it.

We all have our preferences. Red-Blue, Ford-Chevy (can you believe some EVEN like dodge?) grin.
I remember my Dad and His Dad raving about a certain brand of knives. Actually there were 2 name brands and they merged.
Well, well, things certainly have changed. Over the yrs. past I've had several of 'those'. They ARE easy to sharpen but WILL NOT hold an edge. I would not give a NICKEL for any 1 of them. I still have a 'few', don't know exactly, I remember 3 or so. They just occupy space.
There is another brand that is highly praised. They have never melted my butter.
The O P asked about what we USE, not what we don't like.

This last year I tried out a Buck Omni Hunter. It has a nice wide skinning blade(folder) that held and took an edge very well. Used it on four deer without issue. Aside from that I have two Moras in my pack when hunting. Can't say enough good about them for the price.
Hell...Reloading/Shooting are still my favorite things to do,besides play in the box the kids came in.................
