Best field dressing knife

Outdoor edge Swingblade. The gut hook is awesome

I'll second this one. Been using one for years and the zipper blade is the best for opening up the skin without getting hair everywhere.

Outdoor edge. Sharp as a scalpel and when it's not you throw the blade away and put a new one on.

I use a Wyoming. 2" blade with gut hook. All metal. Unscrew 2 screws to clean everything good. Touch up with a strop and that thing stays razor sharp.

This, whatever it is, for the past 20 years or so.

Probably my most used knife for gutting and skinning has been my gerber gator folder.

I've got the same knife!

I really like the little Havalon Piranta.

but if you are one that puts any pressure on a blade when working, the scalpel blades will snap.

I'm hoping I'm not the only one that this happens to. Killed a deer. Dressed it . Took it to processor. Cleaning up and can't find my knife. Gonna need a new one. Any favorites out there?

I'm horrible at getting a knife sharp. Outdoor Edge or Havalon replaceable works great for me.

Another vote for outdoor edge. Simple, cheap and the sharpest.
