Hey all,
I'd like to hear what you think of using a folder for your filed dressing and butchering duties. I am talking about using a folder for deer, pigs, bear and other large game. How do you think they compare against a fixed blade. I know the fixed blades are much easier to clean.
If you do use a folder, what one do you use and please post a pic if you have one. Is there a folder you are thinking about using next season?
I have been thinking of getting a CASE Folding Hunter with the 2 blades that I think are 4 inches or so. Case also makes a single blade that is about 3 inches with a lock that I like as well. I don't know about using a traditional "pocket" style knife for these duties. I can see how it would be a mess and would be tough to clean out one of those after working on a deer.
I have also thought about the Wenger Ranger 58, which I have heard a lot of good reviews on.
What do you think?
Please post pics of your hunting knives whether folders or fixed.
Thanks for the time.
