Gw What's the stutzen in the first pic? Also, love the orange crush combo in the second. Nice lanyards! I very much enjoy making "hill country wind chimes"

That's a Merkel K3 Jagd Stutzen. That particular rifle is chambered for the 308 Winchester. Ya, If you recall, I have a number of your lanyards on different knives! I find them to be very handy! ya! GWB

As an example. I shot this pig. Course he would flop in the mud! So when you're poking a hole in his leaders in order to get a strap thru to pull him out, it's mighty handy to have a lanyard when ya' drop your blade in the mud and it sinks. The orange kinda stands out! Lucky i had a lanyard! not trying to beat it to death, but at 66 my thumb joints are worn out. My grip ain't what it used to be. Kydex, and wet formed leather pouch style sheaths where you have about an inch or so of purchase can make it somewhat difficult to draw the knife. I find that the knots on the lanyard are an aid. ya!

I bought a Spyderco Moran for a buddy and helped him skin a couple deer with it. I was pretty impressed. I can't think of a better option under a hundred bucks

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.

OK, here's the deal. You have to purchase either a commercially produced knife or semi-commercial. What would you go with and why? (Glad this isn't for real, I love my Dozier). Production knife? It will probably have Japanese steel and/or mfg on it.

One of my favorite fixed blade "production" knives Cold Steel "Outdoorsman". This knife is always in my kit as was the one that preceded it, which I lost somehow somewhere. I use it for breaking briskets an removing entrails! Junglee, and Cold Steel! and a Cold Steel Master Hunter, w/ guthook, Carbon V. Used it for a number of years before I started collecting customs. ya! GWB

I've been using the hell out of one of these Mora's and they're pretty hard to beat. https://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Mol...7114&sr=8-3&keywords=mora+knives

These two are pretty decent for factory offerings, Kershaw gentleman's folder and Moki Banf Both VG-10 blades and under $100. Don't know why Kershaw discontinued the 1993.

I have to agree with the Moras. I have bought several and their value far exceeds what I pay for them. I also like the other scandi brands like Kellam Puukko, Marttiini, and Helle.
