But can you still shave with it?

Something I have not tried. Stay tuned

I suppose if you're really good you could just do a landing strip.

I saw that one and the 15200 altitude that is stripped with almost nothing for scales. Like both in orange. Also like gripping machine into spine up toward tip. When gutting I put my index finger goes there to zip open intestinal cavity without hitting stomach or anything else. Also when reaching up to cut free trachea, esophagus, lungs, and heart. Have better sense of where the knife tip is in proximity to your other hand grabbing the stuff.

I'm sure that short, drop-point blade offers great control for field dressing and skinning.  I use a Buck ranger skinner with a 3 1/8" blade and I love it.

This is my latest I picked up when the local gander went under, a ZT, nice knife

Cutco drop point, serrated edge. Made in Olean. Holds an edge better than any knife I've ever had.

Topic drifted from folders to fixed blades but yea... I just picked up a Becnhmade altitude in orange. Comes in a kydex holster with S90V steel. Should be arriving in the mail eventually. Cabelas only used for the image.

For my EDC, I have my little Swiss Army Mini Champ as my multi-tool, and a Case Canoe for when I need a bigger blade (plus I'm a fidgeter and the bone on the canoe has a nice feel to it). 

For an outdoor knife, I'll usually carry my SA Huntsman.

(Photos are reference, except the Canoe which is mine).

You have got that right, I have collected more than a few myself but for many years the one I go to and carry most times when hunting is an old USA made Western two blade, nothing fancy but nice quality, the old gal can hold a razor edge and with the two different style blades handle all the field dressing and skinning chores I run into no matter what type of game I am hunting.

I love Western knives, and they are very overlooked when collecting. They are well made, good-looking knives. I've got 4-5 of them hanging around.

Theres a guy on Letgo selling several knives including some older Buck 110s and Case in case anyone is interested. Ronald Kniese in Fredonia. I know nothing about him, I just know those knives are desirable so I thought id throw it out there

Thought of you knife guys as I stumbled upon this old Bill Heavey article (back page writer of F&S)

You should have left that off, and then anyone who said "Who is Bill Heavey?" could be removed from the forum permanently

If they made that with a 2” blade and a shorter handle I would have to buy one of those. A 3” blade with 7 1/2” overall is too big for my needs.

He is about the only reason I don’t tell my father-in-law to stop my subscription (he’s been sending that to me since I married his daughter 18 years ago)

Now we’re talking! Take an inch off each end and it would be perfect!!

first thing i did with it was see if it'd stuff well in a leg cargo pocket and chest pocket. i never bring a pack with me even on public land or somewhere new. both it and sheath are so thin it leaves plenty of room to spare.  i suppose you could get away with taking an inch off the handle and just have your pinky floating in air. blade i wouldn't want to make much smaller though. for years i've used those little lansky pocket folders i posted in this thread. seemed too small for cutting out the ahole and when quartering deer in the dark not in some barn or shop where you're setup to do so.

I actually had a custom sheath made for my old folder out of leather so I can hang it on my belt but it sits in my back pocket. It’s a very nice setup but I always carried a small folder in my pocket as well and just started gutting and quartering with it and never used it so I quit carrying it all together. But I do like the idea of having another good fixed blade.

 

As for cutting out the bung holeo I think 2 1/2” is absolutely perfect because you can’t cut too deep, just burry it to the handle and go to town.
