    Re: What’s your favourite knife?

    I bought a Bark River Featherweight Fox River in Elmax steel towards the end of last season and I was able to gut/skin one deer and skin 2 others. It still remained sharp after and it’s also a stainless which is nice when you go on the long hunts and get rained on. It will now accompany me on all my mountain hunts but I still bring my havalon for caping.

    Favorite is a Mora, as the Scandinavian grind can be touched up by a monkey in the field. They are also cheap, durable and feature quality steel. I use a wood handled one which now perpetually smells like deer blood, but really the 511 is unbeatable for $14 Canadian: http://www.workwearcanada.com/produc...m?product=1755

    I've also used an esee RC3, which was a great knife but unnecessarily heavy-duty for field dressing, harder to sharpen, and the sharp edge of the finger choil could potentially pierce a hide if you're not careful.

    Either of my Stevenson Knives are my favorites. Amazing quality blades and both sheep horn handles

    -- I grew up loving the Finlander and used it for decades and now since I love knives and their look and feel I found a knife that is absolutely unique in design and iz awesome it's called Chicago Cutlery and i fell for it's appearance and feel, and sharp and stays sharp. I'd recommend this TM to anyone to check out 4 sure. Also the Original Bowie knife my girl gave to me and it's good for gutting and skinning mule deer. Beauty knife 6 inch blade.
    Jelly -- Chicago Cutlery and also the Finlander plus Original Bowie knife 4 gutting and skinning -- knifes are the coolest

    Outdoor edge flip and zip with the mini folding saw for me, small compact and litteraly like a zipper when skinning. Little saws great for cutting the brisket, tree branches for ground blind or cutting tree branches when putting a tree stand in.

    Some really slick looking knifes you guys got though, I bought one of the havalon pirantas, haven’t tested her out yet figured it would be a little better for deboning, anyone got opinions on those ?

    I don't really like Havalons for deboning there's no strength to the blade for digging in to a joint and twisting the knife to pop the tendons and open it up. I've broke a couple blades trying I don't even try any more, its dangerous. But they're silly razor sharp for other work just don't force them and use them like a real knife.
    its gonna take a life time to hunt and fish all this

    Not the greatest for deboning if you are someone who tends to touch the bone with the blade. Doesn't take a lot to start to roll the edge if you are against anything other than meat.

    That's where the Outdoor Edge Razor Blade kicks the Havalon's butt. The OE has a far more rigid frame and blade than that flimsy Havalon finger slicer. Save the Havalon for caping duties where you'd normally use a scalpel.
