I carry cheaper knives because I'm afriad that I'll lose an expensive one :) I've been carrying a Gerber EZ out for the past 10 years or so, but intend to switch to a Morakniv companion soon. The fixed blade knive take up more room in my pack, but they're easier to clean up gutting a deer.
 
A Buck 110 and Ol' Rambo!! Who's "Rambo"?? A replica of the Modified Bowie knife Stallone used in "Rambo III"!! I use both knives all year long and Rambo is the best hunting knife I've owned I believe!! :cool:

And since you showed yer rifle, Here's a pic of what I'm packing, My 500 with the vertical shoulder holster.. ;) :D

Since I do my own skinning/gutting and processing at home. My knives are in the truck or at home. Mostly I use one or two big QUEEN folders for the skinning and disassembly. Absolutely NOTHING beats a sharp fillet knife for deboning and making choice cuts. I use Rapala. Any deer I shoot is from 15-45 minutes from the house and cooler. After about 3-5 days in the cooler I'll break out my cuber/grinder/process and freeze.
 
Not sure on which Smith yet but the knife will be the gun auction site special.

I only carry one knife and it's either one of these plus a small hand axe.
When field dressing a deer I think more like a doctor and not a butcher I really don't need a large knife for that just a sharp one...:D

The Puma Skinner I have owned since 67 and a Buck Alpha folder I bought couple years back. Both come in handy and have served well.
 
Wow guys this is going better than I thought it would.You guys are showing sum fine cutlery and sum great reasoning for there use.
 
I've relied on a pair of Bob Dozier knives for several years now. Love what he does with D2 steel.

The two in the pic below have field-dressed, skinned and deboned numerous deer and a few elk in the years I've had them. The top knife in the 2nd pic got the scales scuffed up pretty bad when I slid down a scree slope on a hunt in Colorado a few years back.....didn't do much for the looks of the knife, but its honest wear.;)

I took a knife making class in Adult Ed at local high school and have made several so my commercial knives have been retired in favor of ones I made myself.

I'll add one that always makes the trip on my hip. Buck 110 given to me by my grandpa. Wouldn't feel right to not bring it & use it.

I'm tempted this year to carry this old S&W along also.
