Every "Traditional Bowhunter" needs a good knife.

What type of knife do you prefer,a fixed blade sheath knife,or a "pocket" folder?????

I always carry both but for gutting and skinning animals I like a fixed blade.

I just "like" pocket knives,I've been carrying the same 110 Buck knife on every hunting trip for 20 years.    

My lovely wife Lisa gave it to me our first Christmas together.It's been hunting with me every year since,I wouldn't think of going hunting without it.

I'm with Tim, I always have a Benchmade folder on me. Always carry a fixed blade when I hunt.

I have a buck 110 as well and I love that knife.  That is my do all kitchen knife when I am camping.  That is one of the knives that never comes out of my backpack.

I always have a Swiss Army knife in my pocket and usually a sheath knife (sometimes a folder) in my pack.  Just like bows, a person can't have too many.  Like em all.

I like both,my dad and I make custom knives, but he likes all these high tech stainless steels, me I like the edge I get on my boker 2020 two blade folding hunter, it is very high carbon, it has cleaned three trout, two redfish, ten squirrels, and a rabbit, and it will clean any deer I kill this fall

i always carry both also. Use the fixed blade for field dressing chores.

Got too many to count but for hunting I only like the fixed blades.  For EDC I prefer the folders like Spyderco.

i am a knife junkie and have many. i am never without a long knife and usually carry a big bowie as well. do must of my game cleaning with a shorther fixed blade.

I've hunted where you hunt Kenny.....I'd carry a BIG knife too!!!!!  

I am also a knife junkie. I always carry a Gerber pocket knife, even while hunting. I also carry a big Imperial fixed blade(works for any cutting job and doubles as a pruning implement) my Dad got me before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Skinning and gutting usually brings out a Schrade I bought for him one year for Christmas. I mean can you really carry too many knives??LOL.

I always have a pocket knife on me, but I'll have a sheath knife with me while hunting for field dressing, etc

I love the fixed blades, especially the really big ones, and the competition cutters, but my vote goes to the pocket knife. I'm never without a fixed blade in the field, but a pocket knife's versatility just can't be matched. I've not been without a pocket knife since I was about 7 or 8, and would feel lost without the one I carry now. Just a single blade Schrade lockback that I've had for about 8 years. I abuse it with great regularity, and can count on my hands how many times I've had to sharpen it.

this is my everything knife you name it it will do it.  

I like a fixed blade.  Used a folding Buck knife for many years, but got tired of cleaning the gunk out it after cleaning every critter.

While I have several larger fixed blade knives, my Chris Reeves small Sebenza is constantly with me, it is used for everything.

I always have one of each.

this is my do everything knife, a little big but it gets the job done and is very special to me.

and here is my antler handle bowie, it goes everywhere with me as well.

Fixed blade, with a folder in the pack somewhere.

Most of us probably already know, but that "GUNK"
that remains in the nooks and cranny`s of a folder
can harbor some of the wrost bacteria that we can imagine. (Flesh eating) Even if it LOOKS clean.

I would have a good sized sheath knife on my side at all times if it were socially acceptable.
