My actual hunting knife is this custom from Robbie Bauchop. Its a one of a kind modification of one of his big five series; see the one in the middle. Part of the hunting thing is to sit around the fire and show off kit I carry a folder as well but this would be used to gut in the field. Its hard to clean a folder, specially an Axis lock like some are showing. http://www.bauchopknives.co.za/p/635946/big-5-hunters-collection-
To me its something that can be used for gutting and maybe skinning. In SA skinning is usually done by farm labour with an Okapi ;o) (that makes an Okapi a hunting knife)
