Walker, is that an "old" joke about my eyeglasses? At my age? I'm laffin' with ya, ppaw, not at ya. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Any links for those KaBars? Is the Hiker exactly the same knife except for the corkscrew? I saw the pictures and thought they were very similar. KA-BAR Link ............ KA-BAR/Dozier Folders Yep, only difference between the "Hiker" and the "Camper" is that the "Hiker" has a phillips screwdriver instead of a corkscrew. Here's another favorite of mine, and it has a phillips screwdriver, too, ... the Victorinox "Trekker". Both the main blade and the large, regular screwdriver lock open:

MOGC,
That's the nicest 110 I've ever seen. I could tolerate that one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Gorgeous hunka stag. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I like these Walmart folders. They are a liner lock but hold the blade well. The blade stays sharp and being partial serrated it can cut right up thru a whitetails rib cavity so as to get at all the stuff. I keep a few of them around. They work very well. I really like serrated folders and have used them for a long time. I have more expensive ones than the $8 one shown but this one is a good deal and if the kid loses it so what.
All guns should be locked up when not in use!

Here is my favorite folder. It's a Coleman. I can get knives wholesale but this one is discontinued. This knife is lightweight yet not a small one. I can get the smaller Coleman but I like this size.

Nice knives are nice to have, but I like Big Stick's recommendation and buy a couple of the following Victorinox knives for general gutting and caping from Smokey Mountain:
Victorinox� 4" White Large Handle Wavy Edge Parer Price: $3.99 Stock #: F42604
A knife for every task. �Stainless steel blade �White composition handle �8-1/4" overall.
I don't like folding knives for gutting, as I find them difficult to get and keep 100% clean. I do carry a German Army pocket knife on a lanyard, but prefer to use these disposable Victorinox knives. I use a Sagan Saw to cut the pelvic bone if I clean the deer in the woods, otherwise I keep a pair of long handled tree limb shears in the truck and use them if I haul the deer to camp for cleaning.

That Buck 110 stag drop point isn't mine fellows. I wish! It is the Buck Collectors Club yearly knife for the members of the club. It wouldn't surprise me to see a few of these turn up in the "For Sale" sub-forums of some sites, or even on E-Bay. I do have some custom Buck folders from Buck's Custom Shop, nickle steel bolsters, stag, elk horn, and textured buffalo horn for handle slabs. All with BG-42 blade steel. However, they have the familiar clip point blade. Buck should offer the drop point as a factory option for those Custom Shop knives.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

260Remguy, Those Victorinox paring knives are nice, but they poke holes in my pockets. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Try a Messermeister. They come with a sheath, your choice of serrated blade or plain, and in a few different lengths. Made in Germany, and they cut just like a Vic. Messermeister Serrated Spear Point Parer

Take a look at the Gerber Gator, Remington bullet knives, and of course Case knives. It will be hard to keep within budget with the larger Case knives. You don't need a fancy knife for general use hunting. You need one that you can sharpen and will hold an edge for basic hunting chores.

I received the Ka-Bar Dozier knives per your recommendation. Can't imagine a nicer hunting knife for the money. Great shape, perfect (3") length and razor sharp. Ordering 2 more tomorrow. Thanks

Yeah, you're right, but in my case they would have to be Bob Doziers!

I love those coleman's. I have an old Western (bought by Coleman) folder with blade and saw that is not nearly as streamlined, but has worked well for 25 years. I have not found any knife, except the Browning, with as good as saw. Walker, thanks for the link. My new contacts allow me to see better than ever at a distance, but I can't unlock the combo gates with them. What a pain!

Yep those are the kind I like! I have the exact same handle as the first photo on a Sweetwater guide's knife tucked away in the safe for my oldest's HS graduation present. For myself, I have a straight personal and one of the shorter-bladed KS-4 elk knives.
For the young hunter I can't think of a better knife than one of the K-Bar Dozier folders. I keep one with my goto farm pistol.

as long as my knife has a bottle opener and cork screw I could care less what kind of blade it's got! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hard to go wrong with a Buck 110... Gotta agree on this one.
