what knife do you use to field dress your game?

I use a Gerber 525 Presentation knife and either my Wyoming Saw or a Gerber folding saw. I usually also have a folder knife as a back up in my pack, being a Gerber Gator of my faithful old Buck.

My main knife I use in the field is a folding 110 buck knife.... But many times (at home) I have and still use a cheap utility (box cutter) knife, very cheap to keep sharp. :)

I use a Buck alpha folder drop point with a 154cm steel blade. It holds a good edge and sharpens without too much work. My wife use and old Schrade Sharp finger which I can get very sharp but the edge has to be touched up after 1 deer.

This is akin to posting in a necro thread, but this comment from 2018 is entertaining: where do you carry that broadsword? Obviously it'd work very well for quartering and decapitating, but it might lack in more precise areas like gutting.

With regard to the OP: I use whatever I have with me which is usually a Benchmade folding pocketknife ~3-3.5" blade.
 
154cm is the type of steel, not the length..... :/

Metallurgy is not something I follow closely and "cm" is the universally recognized as "centimeters"... not that I care, but the post I quoted did not indicate "154CM" which is the correct way of "spelling" the abbreviation of this type of stainless steel. I just saw the humor in the typo, without any intent of belittling the man. A result of this confusion, I learned the composition of the alloy, who developed it and the background to parent alloys... so why it was developed. Should I make fun of you two who might only know how to make fun of someone confused by a spelling mistake... who, for all I know might only know that "cm" is merely just a stainless steel alloy? I didn't think so.
 
Another of my favorite knives is a victorinox boning knife with a white plastic handle.Ive used pretty much every knife going at one time or another,and for deer processing this thing is a beast,excellent for de boning meat ,skinning,butchering etc.

Those Havalon knives are dangerous !I've seen a few guys get cut bad trying to change out blades without using pliers,I've seen the blades break and pieces couldn't be found while working on a deer that's not good.They are too lightweight and flexible to use without breaking.

lol no man, I didn't mean to come off as a ######
 
My sister's bought this for me when they went to the big rodeo in Vegas one year. I only use it to dress game, it holds a wicked edge for a long time. I did a moose using just this knife.

S30v steel IIRC.

I just us the Havalon for field dress and skin. To cut open the rib cage a big ole milwaukee fixed blade. Carry cheap pliers for blade change too. At home I use a cheap butchers set. Havalons are good...just dont be a bone head with them. Same as Olfa.


Edit..
