[QUOTE="RJG_ABQ, post: 2508216, member: 121375"] I also have to many knives that I have purchased over the years. All started out with a Buck 119 from my girlfriend - now my wife of over 40 years. I still have that knife and will go to the grave with it, however it does not get much use these days. I have used various Buck knives over the years with my favorites being a Buck Pro-Line engraved by Chuck and then a give away from and RMEF banquet. I did jump on the replaceable blade ban wagon buying Havalon knives from the basic Piranta, Jim Shockey Signature series, Bone Collector, and my new favorite Hydra. I have processed several elk, deer and antelope with these knives and love the sharpness of these knives but as several folks have mentioned you have to be extra careful with them. The first few animals I processed did leave me with a few finger cuts through the dishwashing gloves. I need to look into the Kevlar gloves for sure. Most animals can be processed with one of the Havalon blades, but processing a big elk the blade does get dull (compared to a new blade) towards the end of the skinning process. At least that has been my experience. [/QUOTE]
