Hello all.
I asked this in W&SS, but thought it would probably be better here.

I was approached by a friend today who said he was going hunting and wanted a folder that would work for skinning / dressing a deer.
The thing is, I have no idea about anything gutting / skinning / dressing related, especially what one looks for in that type of knife.

Do any of you all know what to look for in a knife for this purpose?
Do you have any suggestions of products?

Please keep in mind, this person is dead set on a folder. If you do have a folder you could recommend, that would be fantastic.

Thanks for your time.
 
Hope he likes cleaning. The Buck 110 is as good a choice as any and probably a better choice than most. It took some effort to clean my BK11 after dressing a deer earlier this year with it - I'd allow 2-3x the time for cleaning a folder but if that's what he wants...

Responded to your other thread, but would add the Queen Mountain Man (lockback version) to list of folders for field dressing. And frankly, I would stay away from the slick looking folders designed for field dressing that you find in stores. Most of them are pure junk. Tell your friend to pack a few wet wipes and soft bristle pipe cleaners to use in the field as this will save a lot of dried gunk removal later.
