Generally just carry a Gerber Gator, or the newer style Freeman design or something like that. I have been given knives over the years so have a large selection to choose from. But it's a folder on the belt and if I'm wearing a back pack will have a fixed blade too. I've been hunting deer for almost 60 years and remember as a kid growing up in deer country a saying the old timers had: The bigger the knife they carry the bigger the city they're from. Now I don't agree with that entirely, but in my career as a Game Warden I did see some huge blades. An average Wisconsin whitetail will dress out at 125. That includes bucks and does averaged out, how big of a knife does one need? But what ever suits your fancy or need carry it with pride, sharpen it, keep the blade clean, and be carefull of how you use it.
