KOA Alpha Wolf or the KOA Yukon?

[GarMan]

Looking for a new hunting blade? I like both of these Knives of Alaska blades. Don't know which one to pick? Suggestions? Thanks!

I have cut up many elk and deer and other animals with the alpha wolf in s30 and it is probably my fave all around fixed blade i have ever used , although i do now prefer KOA's d2 over the s30 from any maker. I prefer a little longer cutting surface on elk but the desighn is near perfect as you never fight the knife on any task from splitting hide to skining to boning .

I was thinking the D2 steel too? Good steel? Good edge retention? Thanks!
