    My go to knives. Four of the best knives I've ever owned, one Knifekut and three Victory knives. I own and have owned Gerbers, Svords and knives of various other brands, some expensive and some not so much. Some got returned to place of purchase, some stuffed in a draw and forgotten about and others chucked in the bin.Name:  coalrange 010.jpg

    The test of a knife for me is that it can bone out a whole deer in the field without touching the blade. How do these go at that? That bottom one looks a useful shape.

    Well I've never boned out whole a deer but I've processed a lot small game animals at on time without stopping to sharpen any of these knives.

    I can't get a whole deer out of my victory without a strop or steel, they are fairly soft. Take a mean edge though. I find it pretty comparable to the victorinox boning knives.
    Being soft they respond OK to a bit of bone contact and a steel to get them back but dull quickly with abrasive tasks like skinning and hocking cuts

    Do you find victorinox better than victory? I have looked into victorinox.

    Nah, about the same. Buy nz made �� nothing wrong with the victory knives, bang for buck they are as good as any.

    Exactly my experience with the victornox boning knife I have. You can get it real sharp but will suffer quickly if having to go through hair. Bonus as you point out is if it dulls it's normally just a steel to get it serviceable again. At the end of the day for the price of them you really can't fault them.

    @Tahr I've recently brought a Knives of Alaska knife in D2 (Alpha wolf). I have quickly found the handle is probably too small for my hands but suits the Mrs very nicely so it'll be hers. Any recommendations on a similar style but larger? You seem to be a bit of a font of knife knowledge.
