Hey guys. I'n looking for a fixed blade knife with a gut hook. I will be using this knife mostly for the gutting and skinning of whitetail deer. Do any of you have strong feelings towards a certain brand? Thanks in advance for any help. If you think you've seen this before, you were looking in the review and testing forum! sorry about the double post, but wasn't sure how to get rid of the other one, and this way I should get more responses right?! thanks!
 
Untill a few years ago you could not give me a gut hook knife. One of my clients ask me to build one to his specs. (the Joey) He wanted a much larger hook and a taller blade to obtain more belly for skinning. The Burl is the one I carry hunting. I call them zippers because they slit the skin so eazily. They make short work out of field dressing. Most gut hooks do not work because they are way to small as a result they hang up constantly. I use mostly CPM3V because is one of the toughest steels out there, as a result of its sthergth I can make the knife thinner and reduce the angle of bevels which results in a very sharp knife that holds a edge much better than just about anything other than 90V.

I respectfull suggest that ou learn to use a knife properly then you won't need a gut hook.
 
The SOG Hunter Revolver is a versatile, well made knife that has a guthook as well as a built in wood/bone saw.

I can take the wheels off of your car with a crescent wrench, but I can do it a lot faster with out damageing the nuts with the proper size sockett and a impact wrench. I critisized them to for 35 years untill I used one that was properly designed for the job.
