The only hunting knife I use is an old scrade sharpfinger. It does everything I need it to do.

For general purpose I have a Buck folding knife.  It is probably older than a lot of the you whipper snappers on this site but it still holds an edge!

When deer hunting I have a real nice CutCo deer knife.  Blaze orange handle that is a rubbery kind of material so that when you are in the thick of field dressing your hand will NOT slip on it.  Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

What about fillet  knives?

[GOGETTER]

NG:  I gotta go with the electric fillet knive.  Makes quick work of filleting.  Geno

I agree after seeing the vid on the home page of using a elec knife.. I never used one, but i will give it a try, it so simple to use, at lease in the video it is lol

Once you learn to fillet the sunnies and crappies with the elec knife you will never turn back.  Biggest thing to learn is not to cut through the backbone!  Makes them hard to clean when ya do that.  Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Duckieeeee!!!!!!!


Yeah i will be getting a elec knife for sure and trying ti out, i am sure it will take a few tries to get ti right and maybe after a few butchered fishes, it will all come together lol

For deer hunting I have a buck folder with a gut hook, for everyday carry i have what is called a twistmaster, cold steel blade. This thing gets used for everything  a knife shouldn't and keeps on going. Have tried a electrice fillet knife but keep going back to the good old rapala .

[Tami]

thats what i have for a knife .. lol

I got friends that only use electric fillet knifes, and we have had SEVERAL competitions on who can fillet faster..................I always come out on top with the trusty rapala! I like the black handled version for pike and walleye, and the wood handle for the pan fish.

and I still got all my finners (wiggles fingers to make sure) Yep, still there!

Nuth'in beats a sharp knife!

Black handle one here to. Most important thing is a sharp knife! Many more people are hurt with a dull blade then a sharp one..

I also have one of the black handled Rapalas and I love it (sadly I forgot it up at Stokes Bay last September but I know it will be there when I get back) but the comment I want to make is that I bought one of the gloves - Rapala I think - (teflon or whatever it is) and it is great. Better grip. No more getting stuck by dorsal fins and cut gill covers and protects the fingers way good. Not to mention that if you've had a few cocktails you can get a little reckless.

Mora knives from Sweden make great inexpensive outdoor knives. They have lots of different styles from traditional with basic wood handles to modern styles with synthetic handles. I have several myself.
