2015-16 deer hunting knife....?

[Sirshredalot]

Hey ingo.

Just wondered what everyone will be carrying into the woods with them after October first.

Me:
Kershaw junkyard dog in the pocket, inside the coveralls.
Kabar Becker bk2 strapped to the outside of my pack.
Half breed mini fixed bladed inside the pack with the rest of the dressing gear.

God bless
- Shred

If I go or just help someone afterward, I shall rely primarily on an ESEE 3. Thin, very sharp drop point that is long enough to do serious work and short enough to be controllable.

Normally I just carry my daily carry which is a Chris Reeve Sebenza 25. Last year I had this fancy fixed blade in my hunting bag and after I gutted the deer and hauled it up to the barn to skin it I couldn't find the knife so I just used the Sabenza to skin the deer and cut the meat off. The next morning I found the fixed blade out where I gutted the deer. Who knows, maybe I'll use the fixed blade this year. I think it's a Gerber knife with the a gut hook.

Been using my Cassel PACK the last 2 years. Gonna do it again this year. I love that knife. Tough as nails, and cuts like butter!

I've been using a Russell Canadian Belt Knife since the early 70's for all my hunting needs. Mine is the carbon steel version. Sometimes the Victorinox Farmer in my pocket sees some use.

I always take my Orange Benchmade Triage; it's very rust resistant and has a rescue hook that works well as a gut hook.

Ontario Rat 3, or AG Russell Loveless drop point, but I am always scared I will loose the Loveless. But honestly the Rat is one of the best small fixed blade for the woods I have ever had. It is not so expensive that you worry about it, holds a great edge and is just right for working inside a body cavity. JMHO.

On my belt is a Buck Finger Groove Ranger 112. In the pack for field dressing is a set of Buck Paklites. Easy to clean.

I'm trending to less is more. I'm gonna see if I can't get carbon steel Mora's to work this year.

Last time I field dressed a deer I used an old slip joint with a razor sharp blade. It doesn't take much as long as it's sharp and retains a good edge. Anything else is just added weight you have to carry.

I used my tom krien bushcrafter last year and it was amazing. scandi edge plain ol'e 01 steel. worked awesome but is also one of the sharpest blades ever. It was great size and everything I needed. The year before that I used a case hunter/trapper 3 blade set up. It has a bone saw and two nice blades along with a gut hook. I really liked it also.

Who knows what I'll be carrying this year if I can make it out lol. Damn you life and kids!!

I use an Outdoor Edge Swingblaze.

 

[Bucky623]

The same Buck Personal (4.5” blade) that I have carried in the woods with me for 35 plus years.
Top knife.

I run an old beater I redid back in '90.
Done close to 80 deer I reckon.
Might use a Behring Pro LT Droptine this yr.

That's a nice collection of Bucks, sir. You need a 110 and 112, though!

You speak the truth. I have always wanted a 110.

I have been very happy with my Elk Ridge er-107. It is inexpensive, but has a handsome burl handle. The first time I used it to dress a deer I retired my prior winchester fixed blade.

i will be using my outdoor edge kodi pak that ive used for the last 10 yrs
