Favorite deer hunting knife?

[matchset]

Not sure it is my favorite yet, but this year I am trying something new. It is the Buck PakLite Skinner. Very light weight, no folding parts, and one piece construction.

i like this one! It's gutted 5 and caped 2 with ease for me!

This guy harvests about 70 stags a year in Japan and has a great channel on youtube.

He reviews many knives on various criteria according to his hunting needs: Aesthetics, blade type/shape, practicality, steel type, etc., etc.,

You can also learn about stropping, sharpening, reprofiling, etc. on his channel.

Sharp (pun intended) guy. I enjoy his videos and have learned much from them.

Here's a posting he made Feb 2012. Field use first, and then into the "studio" for a closer look at the knives.
