Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What knife do you carry during deer season?

A Leatherman Multitool and a Victorinox sheep skinner with a cheap sheath I made for it to ride in my pack. That sheep skinner with it's oversized plastic handle really cuts down on hand fatigue when skinning out game, I'll be hard pressed to ever buy something else for the task.

I have been carrying this one so far this season

I got them everywhere. Couple on the boat, , 2 at the cabin, one for garden work in the shed, one in the work truck. Picked them up at a gunshow for 9.00 ea a couple years ago. Can't be beat for the money.

New this year. It has cleaned a few grouse, but is waiting for something big...

Dozier Yukon Modified Pro Skinner



Small Game



Grand dads

Man is there some nice knives in this thread. Its been a buck 110 for me for the last twenty years. Before that a Schrade that I lost in the woods in my teens. Still haven't gotten over it....lol

Benchmade Small Summit Lake

Nice Winston!

Thanks

Just found this one in my bag. Dozier whitetail skinner.



This my fav.

This Puma may have to go...it got christened on bunnies, but I think it yearns for something bigger...

Helle Jaegermeister, no need for any other.

sometimes I keep a gerber Gator in my pack as a backup

Shaman...I have other knives as well but since getting the Dozier's knife rotation just became...well...easier...ScottyO.

My go to - no name knife. Scary sharp after at least 5 gut jobs with nothing more than a leather stop between.

That said I do have a new Winston that will get Christened this year.

Bbassi that's a nice pic. One of the best in the thread IMO.

For years I used a Buck Lite that was given to me by my dad until i let someone use it. They "sharpened" it for me on a grindstone and it has been useless ever since. I gave it to my son a couple of years ago and sent it back to buck to have a new blade put in it.



Now days I carry a Case XX Trapper given to me by my best friend in my pocket and a Havalon Piranta and a Mora Knife in my my pack.



Bob.

I have a decent amount of knives to choose from, but my favorites are these two Buck Knives (118 & 110) - in fact I cleaned a deer with each one if them this past week.

woodson;
Good morning to you sir, hopefully the week treated you well and this finds you where you'd hoped to be on a cool October morning.

Thanks for the thread and thanks to those who've joined in to make it an interesting read/view.

While I've carried and experimented with a good number of different shapes and steels over the years, over the last few seasons this Vantage Pro that I rescaled with blaze orange micarta rides in my back pocket.


Three years ago I bought this 52100 blade from an online ebay shop, stuck some maple scales on it and cobbled together a sheath. It rides on my belt beside a Leatherman Wave and my cell.


I'm really liking the shape and size of it, though I'm not certain they quite got the heat treat right as it's a tad on the softer side for really good edge retention.

I may just have to grind one from some old D2 sawmill planer blades I've got and see how that works out. I did these from that supply and they hold an edge well - but they ride in the pack on long walks so that's a different thread.



Thanks again to all the folks who've shown their knife choices - good luck in all your hunts.
