I have ,and have used a lot of knives over the years, some that y'all have shown or mentioned. The handiest knife I use now is a cheap Mora companion, Carbon steel. Sharp, easy to resharpen, blade length is perfect and will do anything a knife is used for, No, it's not a hatchet, or a screwdriver but you can abuse it any way you want to, within reason...lol. Did I mention they're cheap?... ![grin grin](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) and if you loose it , it doesn't hurt the wallet so much I have a few mora scandi grind and the laminated steel you can get a good edge and it keeps it decent. The Mora’s are my go to for field work. They are amazing and the price is great. I carry two when moose hunting but seldom dull out the first one to be used. The reason for carrying two is I prefer the New York reload vs. field sharpening a knifes edge.

My EDC is a Benchmade 154CM . For fish I use a Deba and Yanagiba made my Kamisoto , My chef knives are made my Infinity and are Damascus steel. I use a Chinese cleaver for most of the vegetables that need to be killed and made smaller. A Puma White hunter I have had for over 50 years does most of the game prep in the field. And the list goes on.

Thats like asking " What is your favorite screwdriver " As SNIPERB said they are a tool for a specific job. So I have about 10 favorite knives, depending the task at hand. X2 are we skinning bvr or coon or doing fish or.......

Ive hade one of those in my deer hunting pack for probly 40 years now.I have a Case Mini Finn when small game hunting and in my pocket everyday is a Case Amber Bone Mini Copperlock. I'm not sure the specific number, I have bigger and smaller Buck knives like that and one skinner blade with a cocobolo handle that I really like too but rarely have opportunity to use. I just like that clip point style blade. Like everyone else I have favorite knives for different jobs, but the OP asked about the "knives' design". C22, I never found a use for those Havalon knives. I'm not careful enough to use them to avoid dulling the blades.

Jayme, I really like them for squirrels and ground hogs. If you look around you can get the blades super cheap. Once they get dull, slap on a new one.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

This weekend i added a new knife. And already misplaced it three times. Cannot find it now. The smallest Leatherman tool with pliers and a knife blade. Razor sharp. Have used it many times trapping ang for general chores. I love Leatherman tools but wanted one in my pocket instead of on my belt. Edit: I found the new Leatherman. It is called the Rev. I also like the Buck 109 someone included above. It is a great camp knife that lives in the camp kitchen box in my truck. I have one of these but have never used it.

Another vote for the oldtimer sharpfinger. They can be had for very cost if you catch a sale. I got one a few years ago at a Meijer in Detroit for $9 US.... should have bought every one on the shelf.
Just happy to be here.

Posco - that Puma skinner is beautiful with decades of mojo. I have one in use plus a new one in the box from the late 60s that my dad gave me. It is doubtful that I will ever need the spare and haven’t met anyone worth giving it to. I had a Schrade sharpfinger. Comparing it to a vintage Puma skinner is very generous. Puma began making knives in 1769 and registered in Solingen, Germany. Solingen is known as “the city of knives”. Many knife companies located there and joined the Messermacher guild. Scuba - using a White Hunter to work up game is serious business. I carry a very old version of this Jagdmesser. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2022/11/full-50351-157220-37a91d39_6e31_410f_96e2_9d9ed5620ae6.jpeg)
