gut hook or not
I know that this will probably end up as people reccomending knives like buck and stuff. I am going to get an outdoor edge hunting knife that has a gut hook. It is $50 canadian. take a look at the link and tell me what you think of it.

RE: gut hook or not
gut hooks are nice for a clean dressing job, but i like them for skinning, i can skin right down to the toe nails on a deer. it will cut your skinning time in half.
i owned a game processing plant, all our skinning knives had a gut hook.

RE: gut hook or not
I have this exact knife in a 3 pack (1) gut hook knife, (1) caping knife, and (1) saw blade. This is the best hunting knife/combo I have ever owned!!! I really would recommend you looking into the combo, when I gut a deer, I use the gut hook to run down the belly and open it up real neat without puncturing the stomach. Then i switch to the caping knife to get inside the chest cavity cut the esophagus, and the membrane off of the ribs.
price ~$75 american

RE: gut hook or not
Guthooks are awesome! They are fast, and make it so you won't poke a hole in the paunch. I have been using the same one for 15 years and wouldn't trade it for anything! Mine is an ol'timer. You can get one from ll bean for short money, and its guaranteed for life!! All for around $30 or so, which includes the leather case.
