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. That Moki intrigues me. Like I need another fugkin' knife... Thanks, a-hole. Dave

Glad I could enable. I forget who tipped me about the moki. Not quite the fit and finish of a custom blade, but a useful grind and good steel. The handle is sized more for girl hands, so I'm sure you'll love it.

I'm used to skinny and short.
Should be a perfect match.

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 Love the old Cold Steels GW. I've got quite a few of them.

I'd use the Buck 103, the "Skinner".

Not high production, but a fantastic knife by a real craftsman, Dave kauffman. I posted this a few years ago and Rick Menefee had a conniption fit. Oh well, it is a real nice knife...
If you were hawkin' "real craftsman" of the knife trade with the offered example, I am glad Rick spoke up.

Try to find some old Gerbers from the 1960's-70's with the tool steel blades. Years ago, maybe 15 or so. Gerber made the Gator with a drop point in 154cm, IIRC. I liked it, but lost it.... I believe that I have one, still in the blister pack. Brother gave it to me for Christmas, many years back. For the OP question, D.H. Russell Bird n Trout or KOA Cub.

S30V Buck Vanguard
Good steel, USA made, a handle that fits my hand pretty decently, capable of the game duties you mention as well as a few camp chores I have been known to use my hunting style knives for. On sale, you can buy one for a Benjamin. Hard to beat for the money. I just picked one up for 63 bucks from LL Bean (25% off coupon)

Something from Bark River....classic drop-point or Canadian skinner should do the trick.

Buck made a knife years ago called a selector... I think. You could change blades by depressing the locking mechanism on it and change from a serrated, drop point, or a saw... liked it so much was quite distraught when I couldn't find it. Went out, found another and bought it. Found the original....now I have 2. Love them. They work well for what I need. Also have a 110... and thanks to you guys several customs. 2 from Gene Ingram with a third due around the 1st of the year... so thanks. whislpig

This is a good production knife. Good ol 1095 steel too. Might be a little hard to find these days though.

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). I bought a Gerber Gator S30V fixed blade from Cabela's that I really like and recently, a Buck 103 skinner, I like both equally well.

Big game for me is whitetail deer - I own several production knives but mainly use the Buck 118 Personal from gutting to skinning to butchering the meat. I do prefer the older versions with 440C steel - the edge lasts longer but is tougher to re-apply.
