Hunting knives

What is your budget? Under $200 you can get some very decent handmade knives. I have around 20. 2 Charles May very well made quality material clean lines (over $200 and a long wait). I also own 4 Ron Post knives and these are fantastic. Nothing fancy but well done. Actually I think he sells them very cheap.

Two - a Buck Vanguard and Browning FDT. The Buck for skinning and the Browning for the dirty work - it can do anything.

In the past I'd have recommended a Puma, but I hear the new ones aren't as incredibly excellent as the old ones. I think the Hunter's Pal is a great knife.
I have a couple of Grohmann knives that are my mainstays. They are awesome, and MADE IN CANADA! And not really expensive. One is the Original Belt knife, the other is military issue. Similar designs and materials. They sharpen easily and hold an edge well, and the blade and handle shape lend themselves well to gutting, skinning and butchering quite well.
I also have an older Premier, made in Solingen, Germany. Excellent. And one Falcon knife, a folder made in Northern Italy. I'm very happy with that knife too.

I am also a huge fan of Grohman knives.

Lots of great suggestions, but you can't go wrong with a Buck 110 for a good quality inexpensive all around knife... I would start their and then let the obsession take over

Puma 3" blade great for deer, had it for years.

I have a Puma White Hunter that I have had for almost 30 years. It is a little big for what you are looking for but the steel is the best I have ever seen.

hard to beat a grohman Ive used an original on deer moose with the thick blade using a club to hammer with it ll cut through bone
