I still use Buck Knives. The Buck Vanguard is a good, solid, all around knife. You can't go wrong. It comes in several styles and handle configurations. There's a shorter blade, and one with a gut hook. Wood handles or nonslip rubber handles, etc. Take your pick. What I use too. Does what needs doing, gets a few passes on the steel and back into the sheath sharp as a razor for the next time.

Go custom and you'll never go back. This! I never wanted a custom knife until i joined this forum, now no other knives compare. There are still good mass produced knives being made, but i havent kept up with them since getting my cutoms.

I use a skinner from Jason Fry, a general purpose gutter from Pancho. Use these on whitetail and hogs. I do have a set of Alaskans which are a great set as well. Every now and then I will use my 30 year old Anza, it has really good steel on it.

I second the Kershaw Blade Trader Jr. Bought one when I was 16 and still use it today. Has a regular blade, a saw, and a boning blade.

I use Forshner Victorinox 5" boning knife and a 6" curved skinner. You can get the two for under $50 This is probably what your processor uses.

I have a silver stag for large work and then a few cold steel roach bellies and a finn bear for smaller stuff. The cold steels were only like $15 or something each and they are fantastic.

An older US made Gerber Gator or full-size Kbar.

I suck so bad at sharpening knives I don't even try anymore. I do not gut critters so I take the huge gut hook in the Alaskan blade trader kit and hook just the skin and zip around the whole deer, up the legs down the middle and then take a Havalon and peel the skin off. I can be done from eating corn to cooler in minutes but hitting bone will dull the havalon fast so be careful.
