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

I used this Old Timer of 1978 vintage this morning

Very nice. A couple of classics in one picture.

A Leatherman Wave on the left side, A Benchmade Triage/Bucklite Max on the other.

I use a Victoronix SAK a lot too.

Last year, I dressed a couple with an Opinel #6

Buck 110, my 18th birthday present, many years and many deer ago!

for deer a plain old buck 110 for everything else 2 dunns knives in s90v nothing fancy but sharp and small.

had the Charlie May along for this'un....

Damn hunts...is that a hybrid?

everything but those freaky horns say whitetail

This pair stays in my pack:



This pair rides in the door pocket of the truck so I can grab and go quickly.

Knives of Alaska Yukon

I'm a fan of the Canadian Belt Knife profile and this has done really well. It replaced a Blind Horse Nessmuk that was stolen out of my truck in 2012. I'm STILL mad about that!

Doug Noren Scagel style here..

Buck 110. I love the shape of the blade. Had one for 25 years and lost it in the leaves after gutting a deer.
Got another one and left it on the bumper of my truck, but I had my kid sit on the tailgate and back tracked and found it in the field and still have it. I use it for gutting and skinning.
Then I use a Dexter 6" flexible boner to cut it up and bone it.

My Buddy Sharpsguy made me a custom Damascus skinning knife, being as he knows how much I like muslims he outfitted it with a set of camel leg bone handles, I cut up and eat the critters I skin with it at the dinner table too.

A Tree brand trapper, and a couple old Gerber's... Have many others, but those live in my pack, and the trapper is my everyday knife.

and a kershaw blackout

Buck 110 for last few decades. I've never seen a need to change to anything else.

I almost always carry a kukri and a decent general purpose skinning knife, in my day pack,along with a small game hoist /block & tackle and diamond hone pocket sharpener plus lots of 2 gallon ziploc bags.
theres no way in my opinion that a single small knife can perform all the chores,youll occasionally need, while out in the boonies,youll find you need an AXE, a hatchet, tomahawk or kukri for some projects

Not my pics, but they show the models. Mine are older USA made.
