I've tried quite a few hunting knives over the years and I've settled on Cutco's clip point straight edge (as vs their double D edge.....bought one of those first, now I have the other....lol)
Holds an edge very well. A couple quick strops over my diamond steel after every critter I dress/skin and it's sharp enough to shave with again.
My only complaint is the formed grip. I would prefer they put the same kind of handle on it they do on their K-Bar.
I've been using the Cutco filetting knife for many years and it's great too. It was too sharp out of the box, first time I tried to lift the meat off the skin it went right through the skin so whenever I strop it on my diamond steel, I run the edge down my wooden filetting table once so it doesn't do that.
