Fixed blade knife for a whitetail deer hunter? Specific needs are for field dressing first and foremost, and secondarily for cutting up whitetail deer, which generally around here run between 135-200 (although 200 is much more rare than 135) lbs. Size and weight of knife are unimportant, and should be based on the task, rather than carrying it.
Price range: definately less than 100, preferably in the 50-75 dollar range.
My buddy is a hunter, who either refuses to or doesn't know how to properly sharpen a knife, so edge holding, rather than ease of field sharpening, is more important.
I'd say stainless as well.
Hopefully, these specific criteria will help (I'm usually over in the HI Cantina, so I don't know much about hunting knives)
Thanks.
