I got one of these for X-mas. My hunting season is over this year so I will have to wait in order to try it out. Just based on the feel alone and the factory edge I think this is going to be a great knife for butchering deer. If it works half as good as I think it will it was a bargain.

For every day in my pocket I like my Gerber LST folder, razor sharp and weighs next to nothing and for big game hunting my case Sharks Tooth folder. Takes and edge and holds it and touches up quickly.

Used to be one of my favorite knives: Vietnam era 'iconic' Gerber Mark II - 6 1/2" fixed blade - Till it was stolen by a fellow company employee --- out of a company truck --- bout 40 years ago.
My current hunting knife...Is a 4" fixed blade Benchmade knife, with a plastic sheath that can secure the knife with a clamp.
My favorite survey field knife...That has the blood of a thousand meadows on it: Is a plastic handled, knuckle braced 18" blade Collins machete, with a shoulder mounted canvas sheath; from a genuine U.S. Army signal flag sheath. The 21" Collins that I also have...is just a bit too unbalanced for me.
I also have a couple of 12" battle blades --- One sports a semi-kukri style blade.
Of course..I love my two tomahawks.
When scouting for deer in the off-season...I prefer to take my practice Samurai wooden sword, which is a good way to slash spider webs, thorn bushes and rotten tree limbs, while traversing though the woods and fields --- Since I have no worries about cutting myself with it,

I have had my Buck 110 for over 40 years. It holds a pretty good edge, is compact enough, and the blade is strong enough. I have helped process 15 elk, dozens of deer, and a few caribou with it.
