I know there are some others on here like me that have a knife fetish but what is your favorite overall hunting knife.  I have several benchmades I love but I keep reverting to Esee.  Just bought another for no real reason.  You?  
  
I tend to like knives with 3-4” blades for general use.  And I don’t mean a foldable EDC.   I have plenty of those but prefer fixed for a hunting knife. 
 

I bought this one on a whim. Have a couple of them from 2.5-5”.  Easy to sharpen and should be easy to find when I drop it gutting a deer.

Yes, my Shrade Sharpfinger.  I’m not sure just where it is right now.  Maybe I’ll start a brief search.  Gutted my first deer with an old original Leatherman tool on Saturday.  Fortunately, its blade was razor sharp and it didn’t work too bad.  Sure do miss that Sharpfinger though.

My favorite butcher knife is one my grandfather bought me for my birthday last year (the one closest to the camera). But my favorite knife overall is one that my parents bought me from Idaho. It was hand crafted and the shop was very cool. Everything in there was homemade and out of elk and deer antlers. It cuts through paper very easy but not sure if I want to use it on a deer.IMG_1014.thumb.jpeg.1b68be1b1fe89d17e6e28b4abc64c895.jpeg

Very cool.  Use it.  You will only appreciate it more as you add to its history.

That's a cool looking knife!

The last several years I've just used a small folding Buck. Blade is 3". It holds a sharp edge. Fits in my pack easily. Gets the job done efficiently. 

I do have more expensive knives. And in over 50 years of hunting I've used quite a few different ones. But I really like those little Buck's.

Dave I hate cleaning the folders when gutting. Then again, I am not so neat.

HOT water and Dawn dish soap makes quick work cleaning a folder. Or any knife for that matter. 

And I always thought you were pretty neat!

Lol.  You are being nice.  I still want to rip things out by hand.

Wife's dad gave me a  unused buck 119 shortly after  we got married , said he bought it then never used it . So I've had it for at least 30 years. And no telling when he bought it . I did buy a new sheath for it in 2014 .
