Yep! Best bang for the buck out there.
Yup. Not ###y at all but if you lose it in the forest you won't cry yourself to sleep like you would if you lost a $350 custom.
X100. In reality, any knife with decent steel will work as long a you can keep it sharp. Avoid cutting hair and hitting bone if you want to spend less time sharpening. Even a box cutter with extra blades will work if you're on a budget.
I like the schrade sharpfinger I think it's called. About $20 or so. I've skinned beaver, deer bear etc with it. For duck and smaller animals I like a very thin blade like a boning knife. A bit stiffer than a fillet knife but fairly close in profile. Check out some trapping knives. They tend to be pretty cheap, sharpen easily and if you do something bad to them are easily replaced. Someone else mentioned kitchen knives great idea! Most of them are decent quality and you probably can't find a cheaper quality knife than a kitchen knife. Personally I gut in the field and everything else gets done at home, usually on the tailgate of the pick up.
Not mentioned is the saw. I have one of those take apart Wyoming saws that I use really like it but you can get a meat saw at princess auto that has a bigger bow and more stroke for less $.

i'll second the suggestion of a Grohmann. Love them. If you phone.email them directly you can buy seconds for half price. Usually the seconds are just imperfect handles. And by imperfect I mean extremely small chips around the pins that are not visible without close examination.

I have a couple of Grohman's ... one of which, the original Russell pattern, I've had for over 45 years.
Much game dressed & skinned, and would replace either if lost or misplaced in a heartbeat.
Certainly well made (in Pictou NS) ... toured their factory about 15 years ago.

I have #3
#1 D.H. Russell Canadian Belt Knife
I've not cleaned game with it (worked well on fish!), but it is a very nice knife. Also probably the most expensive of the bunch.
