Much better, you’ll never find a native using a Havalon.

Hugs.

No fancy pictures... older Buck Vangard with the rubber handle and a couple of older Buck 426 Bucklite drop point knives. They just work.

Wouldn't say it's my favorite but ive got thr Outdoor Edge skinning knife with the guthook. Picked it up a couple years ago at the close out isle in Wal Mart for under $10.

I've been favorable impressed with that blade hook using it to go down the spine for gut-less type of dismemberment. Easily takes apart elk and deer and it's cheap and the blade is quite thin stock. It's impressed me.

If I were starting as a young person I'd get me that two knife Outdoor Edge set, Bacho Laplander saw, and Buck tri-diamond pocket sharpener. One heck of a cheap way to get outstanding results

Buck 102 Woodsman and Buck 118 Personal. On occasion Buck 112 folder. T handle pelvic saw.

Love the pic with the Axis!

I'm going to try my hand at making knives, I bought a Propane Forge, belt grinder, and other stuff to make knives.

That's nice.

An old American made case fix blade.

I concur.

I like that one....a lot!



Frog----OUT!

Frog-
Spalted maple handle? Outstanding design!!! Love the guard.

My favorite is a Buck Woodsman or Case Finn that has the same blade pattern. I used a Case Trapper to skin gut and cut the meat off of the last 2 deer I killed this year. I like thin narrow blade patterns for using.

Been using the same Green River Russel sheepskinner model I bought in 1974.. have a back up for it if I ever lose it. Used a lot of other knives but keep going back to the sheep skinner model. I bought 4 of them new in the box for $6 was sure at the time I got screwed. $1.50 EACH sometimes in life some of the finest things are the least expensive..mb

I’m liking this one a bunch.

My EDC is a Benchmade Mini-Barrage S30V steel with orange grips. Excellent for everything including cleaning game, with the exception of being a folder that traps fat in the workings.

Therefore, I usually use my fixed blade, German made Puma Skinner the most. The shape of the blade, stag grip and scabbard just seem to suit all my field dressing needs.

Butchering, that's another task, using a true boning knife.

Beautiful knife. I think you hit the jackpot with that. The shape of the drop point is perfect, a nice pronounced guard, micarta scales shaped nicely to give you tactile feel of blade angle and a lanyard hole.

Can you you share the maker? I couldn't zoom in close enough on your photo.

My step-son sold Cutco and gave me one of those for a Christmas gift. I appreciated the gesture, but the knife felt almost club-like in my hand. I threw it in the safe thinking I would never use it. To humor myself, one day I decided to give it a whirl. I friggin love it. It is so easy to finesse it with surgical precision.

I have a few custom knives including one I bought in Guyana. I only have maybe 5 or 6 custom knives. I suppose they are too pretty to be used.
Most of my knives are Buck and USA Schrade and I usually carry one of them. I hadn’t used a Buck in a long time, but the last deer I shot: I gutted, skinned, and trimmed with a Buck similar to their old “Personal”. That knife was a favorite years ago and my only knife foe many years. I found this knife hard to beat. It was still sharp after the work was done, still cut a paper on edge with ease.
BTW: I throw communist Chinese knives in the garbage.
