    If your carrying just one knife, small can be overrated. I’d prefer light. The gator is not heavy and not too small. $100 is not to dear. I can get 2 deer easy and blade is still good. USA made knives.

    Fair point. I just like smaller knives. Feels more controlled. Horses for courses I suppose

    No one knows more than me, that knives can get under your skin. (no pun intended)
    But, at the end of the day, they're probably the least important part of your kit.
    So long as it's sharp, any old bread and butter knife will suffice.
    Although there's no arguing, top quality steel is best for the longer trips, and later on in ones hunting career, pride of ownership takes it's hold

    No truer word spoken,I have had a knife made for me and one for my 12yr old son,I’m starting to get a bit long in the tooth now so hopefully when I’m long gone he will look at these knifes and think of me.Name:  image.jpg

    I took one on my small fixed bnt models last deer hunt. Honestly was pretty amazed how effective it was for something that only has an 8cm blade
