Fellow Knifenuts I need your help

I think a Buck Camo Crosslock may be exactly what he's looking for, has 2 blades, one a nice drop-point plainedge skinner, the other a combination saw/gut hook.

Everything a hunter could possibly need in a nice little package.
 
I don't know anything about hunting, but if your friend doesn't already carry one, he should get himself a good multi-tool. My Supertool 200 is the single most useful thing I own. Hunting, or just living day to day, he'll find hundreds of uses for a multi-tool and will wonder how he ever lived without one. Oh, and many also come with a saw.

Then just get a good hunting knife for the skinning & stuff.
 
DarkJedi2,
I noticed that Esav Benyamin Recommended the Reeve Aviator. Not a hunter myself, but I would also suggest the Chris Reeve Ubejane. Designed specifically as a skinner, with a lot of belly. I recently purchased a reeve Project 1 and am quite happy with his quality of workmanship, and personally feel that for durability these knives are seemingly unbeatable, however that's just my opinion. Let us know what you eventually go with. Good Luck.

I have seen a Kershaw hunting knife that might fit your needs. About a 5 inch blade with a section of really beefy serrations on the spine that saw through the pelvis. I am a deer hunter, and I really liked this knife. The problem is, I cant remember the model name...
 
Just to veer slightly off topic for just a moment:

Am I the only person who does not use a saw when preparing game? I never have to saw through anything. Separating the rib cage even on an elk is easily done with a knife. I have done it with a 3 inch folder. Done every animal from the woods to individually wrapped packages in the freezer and haven't used a saw yet.

Now back to topic, if you want the absolute best bang for the buck, spend a twenty dollar bill at any Wally World store and get him a Schrade Sharpfinger. Dang, but those are good skinners for the cash. Mine even has a little stone in the sheath for touching up the edge.

But if you wanna spend some cash, I still say get the Dozier.
 
I guess that I favor a good knife for skinning and trimming, but a heavy saw for quartering elk. You raise a good point. Most deer can be taken out whole. The animal being hunted may be a factor that we need to know to give good advice.

Velitrius,
Email me with how you deal with the spine and quartering. I may be able to lighten my pack!

My Uncle Dave came up to Phoenix, and I showed him all the different choices he had available to him.

First, he was amazed by all the choices. He finally decided to purchase a Browning model 600 Kodiak F.D.T. However, he really was taken by the Dozier Knives. I think my aunt knows what to get him for Christmas.

So in closing, My uncle and I are very greatful for all your guys' help. Ask and thou shall receive:D :D :D

Thank you again.

Darkjedi - May the Force be with you always.
