and a Schrade Sharpfinger that has skinned more than the law allows
for 15 or 20 years. It didn't take a $1000 gun to kill it, and it didn't take a $100 knife to skin it. Go figure.- Joined

Stich, what part of Dixie? I've been so busy working on orders that I haven't been to the woods.
You're right it doesn't take $1000 rifle or an expensive knife, BUT if you got an expensive rifle why are you toting a $20 knife?

Hi, I just found my new hunting knife for this year. The Kabar Dozier! When I first got this knife I wasn't overly impressed. But after a little tweeking (lockbar wasn't quite fitted right) this is a great knife. Cheap, light weight, and a great blade profile (I got the spear point) for work on fish or deer. I also think it will be pretty easy to clean the gunk out of it if I get to put it to work on deer this year. It came with a decent edge but after sharpening it up, it rekindled my love for the way aus8 takes an edge. This knife is scary sharp!
If your looking for a fixed blade I highly recommend you take a look at A.G. Russel's Deer Hunter and Bird and Trout fixed blades. Thin blades in three great steels. My bird and trout in VG10 is an excellent cutter and I love the sheath system. It is also very easy to clean up and light weight.
Also take a look at the Spyderco Moran fixed blades. I have handled them and really liked the design. The drop point would be a great hunting knife for my purposes and the trailing point would make a great skinner. They also have a very nice kydex sheath.
If you want to spend a little more and go handmade look at Gene Ingrams hunters here: http://www.geocities.com/porchswings/ or check the fixed blades for sale forum in the Knife Maker's corner section. He seems to post knives for sale very often. I don't own one of Mr. Ingram's knives yet but do have one on my short list. They get very high marks from the folks around here and sell for a very, very reasonable price.
Those are my pics for a hunting knife. Hope you find what your looking for. Let us know what you decide on.
Take care, Heath

Agreed. Cheap, easy to sharpen, holds an edge long enuff for the whole deer, easy to carry.... sheesh I could go on and on about this one. I see why they call it "sharpfinger", it's like you aren't holding a knife at all. More like a part of your hand is doing the work.
You could get a folder for a hunting knife if you want to, but I personally wouldn't.
