For deer, I've never found a better blade that the Whitetail Skinner from Outdoor Edge. I've been using this blade exclusively for deer since '97 and I love it!!! Now, you can carry a Rambo knife like some of these guys 'round here do, or you can carry an expertly sized tool for th task at hand. The gut hook opens 'em up like a zipper and the T-handle allows you to cut with a straight wrist which makes the task of reaching into a chest cavity MUCH safer.

I have honestly been thinking about using a flip out razor knife. My cousin used to have a browning knife that essentailly a razor in the shap of a knife and you could skin any animal in record time.

If you want a knife that will last you a lifetime and will hold an edge like no other, take a look at a Bob Dozier knife. His D2 steel is amazing. Try are pricy but worth every cent.

I just got a benchmade bone collector fixed blade with guthook, It is a very nice knife made with D2 tool stell and very sharp. I also have a knives of alaska bush camp knife that I realy like, You cant go wrong with either.

Bark river or a Dozier some of the best knives made.

Another vote for Bark River knives.

For gutting and skinning get some thing smallish and easy to handle. For butchering I use a set of Victornox butcher knives. I guess it all comes down to how much do you want to spend.

Wow there is a Rapid River knifeworks, and Bark River Knives, both very close to each other in the U.P. easy to see they were modeled after Marbles, I know Rapid River Knifeworks makes some of the most beautiful knives ever, free sharpening for the lifetime, and I mean shave sharp, type to hand down for generations

Some good suggestions, I'd also recommend mora knives or fallkniven. Mora in particular are super cheap but excellent blades. And i love my F1 ^_^

mora triflex! cheap, good steel and they come shaving sharp. good edge retention and pretty easy to sharpen. and they are cheap enough to buy multiples, because trust me, you will want more then one! great all around utility knife for around camp as well.

Cabelas Alaskan Guide knife made by Buck. Forever warranty made with S30V steel. Insanely sharp and holds it's edge for an unreal amount of time.

I like guthook knives for whitetails and have a Buck Zipper and original Marbles (pre-China) guthook that are excellent. Bark River makes a very good custom that is reasonable as well. I also have a custom knife by a fellow named Roger Shirley from Ohio (RDS Knives) that is outstanding. It depends upon how much you want to invest and how long you plan on keeping your new knife.
