I have a couple of Benchmade Hunt knives, and will bring them out to use for breaking the animal down once I have a game animal home and hanging in the garage. Like others have said, the handles are pretty small and thin on the Hunt knives, the steel holds an edge very well though.
The knives I carry with me in my pack for gutting and quartering are a Ryan W drop point hunter and SPK, IMO it doesn't get any better. Ryan's handles are amazing, and the tapered tang on the drop point makes it stick in your palm perfectly. Neither of my Ryan W knives are super steels, just high carbon, but if you want the best you can get I'd highly recommend contacting Ryan, he's a hunter as well and understands what works best for processing game.
I don't know how to post pics, but if you want to see a pic of the knives shoot me you email and I'll send some. Brad
