BTW I always like looking at GWB's knives.

He makes me wish I had something fancy, since my most fancy knife is my old Sharpfinger.

Classy stuff!

Can totally understand the sentimental attachment to a special knife or just appreciating a fine one.

But what I most appreciate is scary sharp with little to no effort on my part
I too favor the replaceable blade knives. Have a Havalon and a Gerber and prefer the latter for the ease in changing blades. Always have a stouter bladed knife along as well. Took 'flave's advice and bought some RADA sharpeners. Silly easy to use and put a good edge on a blade. They are cheap enough and lite enough I have a few stashed around, even in the pack. Works well for touching up the scapel blades to extend their life as well.

Just curious what others use and personal preferences.


I have all my knives on a long belt. I have a schrade on their as well. Good skinner. I have a buck and a gerber which I use also. I also have recently been trying the havalon . Sharp as all get out.....

The bottom Bark is my field knife for deer hunting.

Cool Pic!

My old Sharpfinger sits around a lot these days since I tend to use Moras. I need to find someone to make me a better sheath for it as I never cared for the original one. Too floppy. Nice old Colt too. My "Woodsman" is the economy version, the huntsman!

Very nice! ...... The belt knife design is my favourite overall. It's small enough to use for dressing game but shaped well for skinning. The current Grohman stainless knives are lacking in quality steel. The one I posted is an old carbon steel knife found in a pawn shop for $20.It works better than the SS.

I think some folk shun those knives as they have a bit of an odd euro look about them but one they use them realize how well designed they are for the task at hand.

Watch the 1st 5 min of this video as he goes into the knife shape and its advantages.

Thanks for the kind words gents!

When I accidentally started collecting knives years ago, as I've mentioned to "The Knifefather, VinceM, (I call him that because he's made me so many deals that I could not refuse) I did not know "beans about knives.

For skinning, an ATV, a chain, and a rock work the best I’ve found. 😁

But for knives, I like Cold Steel Comercial Series curved boning knife or the same from Victorinox.

I'm surprised I don't see many folks mentioning Puma. I have a Puma skinner that's my favorite. It holds a good edge and can easily be touched up with a rod or stone. The sweep of the blade is great for skinning and the stag handle has a good grip even when bloody. In addition, the shape of the handle helps with "indexing", so you can feel the blade angle/direction when you can't see the blade. It also has one of the best sheaths for a factory knife.

Geedubya, I don't know what is more impressive, your knife collection or the fact that you have an attaché case to pack them around in!
