I see that Gerber blades are stupid expensive compared to Havalon or Outdoor edge. Do they stay sharp 3 times longer? The Vital and the Havalon can use the same scapel blades. I buy my from others than either H or G. Easy enough to find deals on them all across the web.

Just an FYI...you need to go down to the knife forum and see what some nice custom knives (some by are members) are like. They're purdy but they work. Everyone should own at least one...or two...or...

I always have a folder in my pocket as well as a fixed blade in my pack. My bino pack also has a small fixed blade in it.

On overnight trips (where weight and space are considerations): Do you carry a folder in your pocket (Benchmade, Spyderco, whatever) in addition to a multitool and/or a dedicated butchering knife? On any trip i have a folding Old Timer, 4" buck and a Havalon, in my stash.

Usually have a Charles May Bobwhite or Ingram Yellow Jacket in a kydex neck sheath under my outer layer.
Drop point, often with a small semi-skinner, in the pack. Usually have a small folding bone saw.
As often as not, the neck knife will do all the processing and the knives in the pack don't even get used except the bone saw if it's warm to open the rib cage and pelvis.

I started a thread on the Campfire forum about this Buck knife set available on Ebay for $35 with shipping. The larger 365 will make a great backup knife. It's very light weight, has a belt clip, 3.5" blade, and is large enough to easily dress an elk. The 365 apparently has been discontinued which can explain the low price. The 363 alone sells for $20. ![[Linked Image from i.ebayimg.com]](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/emgAAOSwjYld6-R1/s-l1600.jpg)

If I have pants on I have a folding EDC knife in my pocket. Usually a Benchmade Griptilian or Ontario Rat 1 D2. When hunting I will have a second "hunting knife" in another pocket, usually a Puma 970 Game Warden, Camillus #3 lock back or something similar. Never had a need for more.
