I have mentioned that I have a modest knife collection and here are some of them of special interest to hunters and shooters due to their makers. From top going clockwise: Browning, Simmons, North American Hunting Club, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Beretta, T/C #7, T/C #12, and last but not least, Cabela's Club.

If you have any similar ones, let's see them!

Oh wow, let me get mine together and I'll post the pics.

I will have to get mine together for a group photo as well. Here is one of my favorite skinning knives, by Charles May.

Gregg, Some packing knives along with handguns...Top knife is a Gary LeBlanc with a 2" S&W 22lr... bottom right is a B.K. Johnson
with a 38 Colt Cobra.... bottom left is a Martin knife and a 3" S&W model 60....

Where's that one from Wyoming Gregg. That was nice!

Like this one, Duke?

Three of my favorites:

Top knife is from Browning.

Next down is a knife by Mike Irie, "Sport 100."

And third down is the one Duke mentioned. I bought it in 2014 in Wyoming; it is a Damascus blade/Stag handle made by Silver Stag, USA.

Nice to have a knife made in America! I really like this design and have several other similar ones; this one has already been used on several deer.

I want to pass on an observation I have noted on knife design. It is interesting how some knives have the cutting edge full length to the handle, while others have a "finger space" intervening there between the cutting edge and the handle.

JMHO--You all may have already noted this but I feel it is worth mentioning. It doesn't appear to be directly related to blade size either, BTW.

Anyone on here using the Havalon knives with scalpel blades? I have the standard size & the larger size. I see the advantages they offer to big game hunters, especially on backpack type hunts. Lighter, no need to carry sharpeners, fresh blade changeout in a few seconds, etc. BUT, I'm really leaning toward going back to a "real" knife. Just something about the look & feel of a good fixed blade...
