Here's mine. Over thirty years old and seen several bear an elk and maybe seventy deer in those years. Still like new and blade touch up involves about three passes on a fine diamond stone and makes the blade good for another 3-5 deer.
I know one person who slipped and fell, siding down about 60 feet of steep hillside while deer hunting and carrying a rigid blade belt knife and was stabbed in the blade by the sheathed knife, sheath and all, when the sheath flipped over on his belt. He lost a kidney in the fall.
I'm sure people have their own preferences for knives and reasons why they carry what they do. Lets hear what ya'll carry in the deer woods and why. Any brand loyalty.
When I began hunting 55 years ago I bought a Puma Game Warden as my first knife and still have it but no longer carry it. The Kershaw shown is about 33 years old now and still like new.
