Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What knife do you carry during deer season?

Thanks. Here is another kinda like it with a Behring/Treeman and a Bark River.......

A Randall I have yet to use...

This works for me - AG Russell with a modified Bowie blade. Not expensive, takes a very good edge and holds it well enough.

I gave up folders long ago. I'm not exaggerating when I say it took me longer to clean the knife than it did to gut the deer.....

I like it all right down to the wool jacket, is that one of Teresa's creations?

Yes sir.....

They are good stuff, I have 4 of them myself

Buck 639

It is always one of two: a Randall #26 pathfinder or a KOA alpha wolf. The drop point shape of both knives are similar and are in that not to big- not too small size range. I also have a couple of Schrade D'Holder knives with similar blades that I also like a lot, one with stag which I have used and one maple one still NIB.

@goalie-

I believe that's a Helle Symfoni

I carry either a Schrade old timer "Sharp Finger" or a WWII K-bar passed down from my grandfather.

I carry the Schrade most of the time because it works for gutting, skinning and butchering. But once in a while, that old K-Bar gets the nod.

Victorinox Camper Model Swiss Army knife. Gave it the Gun Shield treatment a couple years ago and 99% of the blood, fat, etc., just slides off with a wipe on grass or anything else handy.

Gerber

Been carrying one of these since the mid-1970s. The original disappeared after butchering an elk in the field about 15 years ago. The new one is just as good.

I've carried a a Buck 110 folding hunter since the early 80's. However, I'm thinking of leaving it home and carrying a Ka-Bar Dozier like this.

I bought a similar one on one of y'all's endorsement about 10 years ago for Mooseboy. Since then, I have really grown to like it. The blade shape is better for being up inside a deer, and it stays sharp through more than one gut job. It is also much less bulky in a pack. For the past couple of seasons, I've had this one in my cleaning kit and done the bulk of my gut jobs with it.

I have to say however, the 110 is still the knife I can sharpen the best. It stays wickedly sharp through season.

Actually, it's quick and easy to clean a folder. A couple minutes with a stiff bristle brush, hot water, and dish soap and all is clean.

This is a very slightly reshaped paring knife out of VG-10. 3-1/2 inches long. Stays razor sharp forever. Walnut I had in the stock building drawer. It cuts better than anything I have used before, just like the other VG-10 blades I have for butchering.

I have gutted, skinned and quartered 7 deer with it so far and it's still sharp as ever.

Grohmann Deepwoods Hunter, takes an edge easily and holds it very well. I highly recommend any Grohmann knife, for those looking to add a stylish and functional knife at a reasonable price.

I just toss mine in the dishwasher...
