Check out Grohmann Knives. A Canadian company with a long history of knife making. I own a lot of knives but the #100 large skinner is one of my favorites. Holds an edge well and is a good design.
For $140 you are purchasing a bit of Canadian tradition so would make an appropriate gift for your friend.
Just came back from moose hunting on the coast in Northern manitoba, my buddy who took me put in a herculean effort hauling it out amongst other things,and want to buy him a top quality hunting knife.needs to be tough and hold a sharp edge. Don't really need the gut hook.what you recommend, thanks.
The make some nice stuff.
Have one of their paring knife... Which is pretty much the same as their Bird and Trout knife, minus the sheath.
