well i always used just one knife for hunting(i hunt small game and varmints mostly) it a small folding knife that has a 3 1/2' blade knife that is half serrated. i got from outdoor life mag. it's done the jobs i have asked of it form cutting rope to cutting up bait. I used a buck knife(it was my first) and i did not like it and then i used a Survival Knife and broke it on a hog skinning it(don't buy or used a Survival Knife cause there for show). what are some of your hunting knifes? oh, i used a boot dagger too(a great skinning knife).
