On the lookout for a purse
I've been using the same Gerber Gator folding gut hook knife for about 25 years. Gerber steel, generally speaking, is silly soft but can be sharpened to sci-fi laser sharp. My Dad/hunting mentor gave it to me one Christmas so there's a sentimental factor behind it. Field dressing deer doesn't require a bad*%$ knife at all. But good geometry makes a difference. Gut hooks can be a very useful efficient/time saver. Personally I like them. That Old Timer looks like it would make easy work of a deer.
i discovered in my search for what I thought would be the right tool for the job at a reasonable price that a lot of what's out there is tactical Rambo type stuff that does not look very useful to me.
