what is your idea of a perfect hunting knife ?

For hunting: One not too big and heavy, easy to sharpen, easy to see when it's on the ground and one that has a saw to cut thru bones. Right now I have a Browning that's almost there beside the brown color.
For everything: L'original Opinel.

I'd love to own a Puma someday, since I've been looking at them in catalogues since I was a lad. My go to hunting knife is this one. Normark still sells them, and unless things have changed, they are still under $50. They did make a change a few years ago, and actually put a bolster / guard on them, but the handle is a non-slip material, and it has never been an issue for me.

In not sure about those muklok style skinning knives lol maybe on caribou lol
I think the fibrox skinning knife is what you will see in the scabbard of butchers who skin steers all day long.

Sorry blue bull dog didn't mean to repost your post just tryn to get a photo up of the fibrox.

Not sure if I'd want a fibrox.

I actually need to buy one for xmas for my nephew who is starting to hunt. Thinking he needs a fixed drop point. Probaby get him a Buck. Everybody should own one of those.

Terry, check out the Buck zipper, I have the one with wood handle. I think its the zipper model.

I have this Schrade Outfitter Old Timer for a long time and it is very good. It stays sharp forever, the rubber grip helps when your hands get dirty, and the sheath is really nice.
