I will jump in. My favorite has a 3.5" fixed blade with a drop point shape that has a good curve on the cutting edge and holds a good edge. The handle is a rubberized plastic that does not slip when it is wet or bloody.
It's the Buck Omni Hunter.

I have a Buck Lite , that at the moment is AWOL, been looking for it ,for days.

 

A very sharp one that doesn't lose its edge easily.

 

Isnt that the eternal question, eh! Steel that is very easy to sharpen like 440c or a supersteel like CPM S35V that holds a edge but is a bitch to sharpen.

I have an older Camillus pocket knife I inherited from my uncle. Last time he used it was probably 40 years ago, but you could still barely smell a little funk in it. Not easy to clean all the insides. Convenient to carry, though.

 

Since somebody already beat me to "A sharp one and easy to sharpen" I second the notion!

Have a Tim Olt drop point hunter that is awesome but any more I end up using my Havalon Piranta for most chores. I can get 2-3 deer completely broken apart with a blade and when it gets dull I just put a new one on.

 

These two are very close to the perfect field knife for my gutting duties... One is a Morakniv and one is a Buck... Both are very lightweight

I've literally got dozens more knives, but I'm not worried about taking these in the woods with a combined cost of about 40 bucks.

Won't see a new one of those...bought and sold a couple before Jeff died, wish I'd kept one.

 

I've had this knife several years now and it's been the best one i ever owned. I bought it from a guy who had it custom made. It was made by a well known maker here in Texas named Jeff Hollett.
The blade is 4" hollow ground Stainless steel. Handle is stag.

 

Very cool hunting knife's

 

Fixed blade, 4.5", single edge, scandi grind, 90 degree back, full tang construction.

I used to carry a puukko, the only thing I didn't like about it was that it wasn't full tang. A friend gave me a Casstrom Lars Falt knife, and I think it's perfect as a field knife.

 

I have more knives than Carter has liver pills!
(that's for the old folks 🤭)

With that aside,... I have one knife I return to for the challenging task of butchering out my ladies cull goats. Her bucks are all over 200 pounds, with the largest at this moment 250 pounds. (quit hunting decades ago-raise my own goat-beef-pig-lamb, now) It is a Cold Steel Hunter, 4 inch blade, full tang, checkered rubber grip,... well over 20 years old! It will cut through hair, hide, muscle, and cartilage joints of three animals before I feel the edge start to dull.

I can't find one better !

 

Knowing where my index finger controlling the knife blade inside a deer is important to me so I like a 3 inch blade and no more then 3-1/2 inches. This is mine.

 

Is that a "Wright" knife??

 

The diamondblade summit has been a favorite of late.

 

From what I've seen so far, the non-serrated blade is winning.

A sharp Buck 110.

 

Not really a hunter, however my trusty K-BAR has been on my belt for decades.....

 

I see a trend. 4-5" large smooth belly curve, comfortable handle.

Mine is the Rigid Alaskan R-30

Mine has a slight drop point, not the slight clip point in this photo.

Bark River's Bob Cat Hunter is another good hunting knife, though it seems their prices have gone way up since I bought this one last. A lot less expensive knives will get the job done just fine. I liked this one over the Drop Point Classic because the blade is a little bit shorter, which is a plus for me.

 

This Schrade has been my hunting companion for over 40 years.

 

Sharp Finger! Nice

 

These are pretty darn practical for a hunting knife as well and won't break the bank. The Morakniv knife on top has made quite a name for itself and is a great bang for the buck knife.They have a lot of happy owners. The Benchmade " Steep Country" below works well as a hunter too. Both hold their edges well and are easy to sharpen. A plus is, you would have to be blind to lose these when you lay them on the ground during your field dressing duties.

 

Big fan of Morakniv, especially the orange stainless for hard use.
Anything fixed and 4-5" long by Buck is welcome on my belt.

For pure pleasure, however, it's the original D.H. Russell Canadian Belt Knife

 

But I will tell you. I like this L. T. Wright hunting knife so much that I have a guard posted by it 24-7.

 

Today is going to be a good day, the Shore patrol, just returned my knife that's been AWOL since last year, I'll get a picture when the sun comes up.
When it goes to Captains mast, hope he doesn't send it to the forward chain locker for to long, hunting season is getting close.

 

i have well over 100 knives. Everything from pocket knives to sheath knives and everything in between. It is a sickness just like collecting Marlins. with all these knives the one I use the most is one that I made. Nothing fancy, but it is strong and holds an edge. That’s just about all I need in a knife.
