Where i hunt it's usually a mile, or more, just to get to the truck.
Then a 90 minute drive home. So immediate field dressing is a must for me.
I bought a fixed blade Schrade last year that i like.
But any knife that is sharp, and can hold an edge works.
For butchering, i really like the Victorinox 5" boning knife!
The Henkel 5" boning knife works well too!
Both are super sharp and hold their edges well.
Instead of a honing stone, a small steel works for keeping the edge sharp.
Honing/sharpening only needs done when a steel doesn't work anymore.
