I like a 3.5 to 4" blade. Anything larger and I go to a machete.

My most used knives have 4" blades but a 5" blade can also be fine. I suppose larger blades can be useful if you need to build a shelter or bump into Sasquatch in the woods.

From an old post:
[quote="gamekeeper"]The weekend I decided to swop some large knives I no longer use for something more handy. I looked at several but this one seemed to fit my hand and I like Scandinavian knives so I choose this Helle triple laminated stainless blade with Curly Birch and Reindeer Antler handle. Sorry for poor photo, please see video below.

I've used many different knives to dress and bone deer, from 2 1/2 " folders to 5+" fixed blades, some custom made.
I've long decided a 3 1/2" to 4" fixed thin blade knife is the best of all worlds.
I recently discovered Mora carbon steel knives, they are about 3 1/2"+, have a thin blade, and are very sharp and easy to resharpen, they're also under $15,
I skin, debone, go through joints with these knives, they do the job, and they don't need babying, plus if you lose it, it was like 12 bucks. If your going to make shelters, bring an ax or machete, but use a knife for knife stuff.

I like a good-sized Camp Knife with a 6"-6-1/2" blade for most camping chores short of chopping wood.

Gamekeeper, I am a fan of the puuko-style knives as well. I have a Lapp puuko by Iisakki Järvenpää that I got from Ragweed Forge. It is one tough knife.

One does not need much knife to dress out a deer IF you have something that will get thru the pelvis. (I snapped a Buck fixed blade by jamming it into the pelvis, and twisting/bending).
I've been taking out an Old Timer 5" fixed that has the green rubber handle. It's easy to hold on to, and has a gut hook that I like. I usually have a very small saw for stuff, too.....

Real nice. Too nice for me - I'd be afraid to use them!

The 5" blade on my Randall lookalike (that I want to put my own handle on - too small!) has been ok. Any longer than that would be cumbersome to me for general camp stuff.

Generally no more than 5". Though I admit I keep a larger fixed blades in my Jeep, but it rarely gets taken out. I find that a smaller folder is used more often than the fixed blade. I have a Buck Titanium hunter that I've become very fond of.

I've been starting to use this one lately. This is new.

I've had great luck with splitting the pelvis bone of deer via holding the blade parallel to the spine & tight to the bone, then giving the back/spine of the blade a solid thump or two with the side of my fist - actually pounding the blade through the bone.

The only blade I damaged using that method was also a Buck, with a Pakkawood handle that split in my hand from the force of my fist thump.

I don't care for anything over 5" blade in a field knife that I will be field dressing game with. I really prefer a 3.5"-4" blade above all others, as it's easier to use when reaching up into the chest cavity of deer or elk. A longer blade is a hindrance for this work to me.

The little saw blade on a LEATHERMAN works really well to saw thru the chest and pelvic bone. I like the BUCK GENERAL with it's 7"blade to reach down and carve out the intestines and organs, close to the body cavity.

I normally have at least 3 knives for camping... which includes my 6-½" Blackjack (Randall knockoff), a 3-½" Browning drop point for skinning & my 3" Kershaw pocketknife. An axe is for wood and the pelvis...

But, for cooking, I like some other, larger knives, depending on what's for supper! And that includes when camping.

This Canadian Jump Knife with its short blade. When hunting from a backpack I carried an extra Buck Full Size Sheath knike. I got tired of lugging it around and settled for an Estwing Leather Handle Hatchet. I was brought up to never go into the bush without an ax.

My pocket knife has been a locking Swiss Army Alpiner. I carried a Gerber nasty looking tactical styled folder gifted to me for my 60th from a dear friend. It was just too tough looking, much tougher than me. It lives in my Jeep console and I am happy it is there when I venture on bush roads and some neighbourhoods.

On the short end, these two Case knives appear to be different interpretations of the same knife. The lower black one is about what I have used to gut deer/antelope and skin them.

killed a lot of deer without splitting the pelvis. bone the straps and loins, disconnect the legbones from the pelvis socket. bone out the neck roast. disconnect the shoulders. you can pretty much harvest most of the meat by skinning before slitting the carcass. once the neck, straps, and legs are removed open the carcass for the organs and back straps. leave the pile for the bears and sneak outa her zone.

it wasn't until I started using the 12" blade in the recip saw that I split pelvises, and that mostly because they were frozen.

I am in Poland at the moment. The stalker carries a blaze orange handled stainless Mora knife. He cleaned the Red Stag with it and that was all he needed. I have a couple of Mora knives and they work well. I saw a video of how to use a little kitchen knife to split a log. The trick is to whittle a small round spike of wood and baton the wooden spike into the log. If you need more than one, just whittle it. A Mora can do that with ease. Why beat on your knife when you don't need to?

They call it the Jump Knife and catalogue it as the Canadian Army Knife now. It is a Grohman #3 and the bade has D H Russell stamped on it as well. I got the stainless blade rather than the high carbon. My ancient Schrade Sharpfinger in hc rusted due to my carelessness. It sure held a sharp edge but it converted me to stainless knives.

For almost everything I need a knife for, a 3.5" to 4.5" drop point has proven to be ideal. Anything more than 5" is unwieldy to me for more delicate tasks.

I don't split pelvises either. Cut around the stuff going through it and pull it through. Same for sternum, work around it and bone it out. I reach inside to cut the windpipe and stuff up front free. Will have half a deer skeleton hanging after removing the legs at the joints and boning the meat off the carcass.

The 8 of us in my annual Maine deer-hunting party, have the luxury (usually) of allowing deer to hang for several days (field-dressed & skin "on") to age the meat, and transport the deer to our homes - so, we do no de-boning/etc until the deer arrive @ home for full butchering/processing.

The smaller knives are the handiest for field-dressing; the larger knives better for converting/processing deer to meat.

Had this one for 52 years! Still think it is kewl and love carrying it around when in the woods. IMHO best looking Bowie! Has been used on deer, chopping wood and just about for everything :D . Splits the pelvic like a hatchet. 8 inch blade. Anton Wingen Jr. , Solingen Germany
Can shave with it, keeps an edge well and is somewhat easy to sharpen.

I do keep a smaller knife with me.

If your going to drag them, do like Malamute, don't split anything, otherwise the carcass just collects more leaves and stuff.
I age the meat too, large chunks in game bags, in a cooler, with ice on the bottom if needed. Works just as well and you don't have to wrestle with a dried on, or half frozen hide.
Plus you don't have a pile of deer showing in the back of the truck. Unless you like that kind of stuff. :mrgreen:

This.

Once hung, or laying around waiting to get hung, I prop the carcass open with a stick or whatever to help it cool.

Got to looking at that Canadian military knife that Old Savage posted. Always thought that was such an ergonomic design. Found out the R. Murphy made this for George L. Herter back in the day (I lived for the Herter's Catalog as a teenager in the 1960s) and found the current version, new, on eBay for about $33 delivered. Alas, by dribs, drabs and mouse clicks I steadily grow poorer ...

Nice knife,I have used the Cold Steel version.

My two favorite knives for dressing out game are:

a. Tri-Steel, laminated Frost, European manufacture, that I have used on and off for fifty years

b. A Green River, "Sheep Skinner", carbon steel, an absolute bargain at any price
