    What knife do you carry every day? What knife do you carry while hunting? And question #3! What knife do you prefer for processing your game?

    1) a benchmade griptilian
    2) zt 350 with orange handles
    3) rapala filet knife

    Swiss Army knife everyday
    Leatherman multi-tool and Buck folding knife while hunting
    keep a 3 inch fixed blade I got free for joining RMEF in my pack for field dressing
    I have a processing knife set (like Outdoor Edge, but less expensive) that has 3-4 different knives I use for cutting up the deer.

    Everyone has a preference. Nobody is right or wrong. There are too many production and custom knives to pick from.

    I carried a Kershaw Cryo for the past two years. It was a fantastic knife but last week after an hour wait in the security line at the airport I was unloading my pockets and realized I forgot to leave it in the truck. In the garbage it went, and now I'm on the hunt for something to replace it.

    Overall I was pretty happy with the Cryo for the $$$. It was a little heavy but for the $$$ it was great. I'm not sure what I'll replace it with now, I really like the Kershaw's but I'd like to get something with a bit more character and would prefer to keep it under $100. I really like wood and would prefer something somewhat custom or handmade, I'm interested in seeing what others post here.

    EDC is my Buck Tiger Stripe Bones
    Hunting blade is Buck 110
    Butchering? Honestly, whatever is nearby. I've used pocket knives, fillets, my 110. Not really too picky at that point.
