[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1299671, member: 7123"] You mean, for field gutting, or for skinning/buthering? Either way, just a variety of my sharp pocket knives work fine for field gutting - both actually (mostly Kershaw speedsafe models - [B]Leek, SpecBump, Avalanche, Needs Work, Oso Sweet[/B], etc.). Though it's not necessary, it doesn't hurt to have a gut hook knife for this - I've used a Gerber and an Outdoor Edge for this at times (Sidebar: It would appear to me from observing that Outdoor Edge has now allowed Olin to slap the Winchester brand onto their knives, which is really a step up from most 'Winchester' knife products, as the Outdoor Edge knives are pretty darned serviceable for the money). But for the latter, I also have a few fixed blades that supplement the folders - like the [B]KOA Muskrat [/B]for skinning and variety of small fixed blades for butchering - plus a hatchet. The Muskrat is the shiznit for skinning (aside from the pickup truck/rope/tennis ball method). I actually like my [B]SigTac Pit Bull [/B]neck knife for skinning & butchering too, as well as for cleaning trout, birds, etc. I've also been known to use large fixed blades like the SOG Seal Pup, Benchmade 140 Nimraven, and some customs. I like to mix it up. But starting sharp and staying sharp is more important than style/design/brand of the knife. [/QUOTE]
