I bought the following Cutco hunting knife:

It worked OK and is quite sharp but I prefer the clip point (my Uncle Henry) over the drop point (the Cutco). What I disliked the most about it was the formed handle. It works ok when you're say, skinning, and you're edge down all the time. But when I'm field dressing an animal my blade is edge up most of the time so that formed grip actually makes it harder to hold onto. That's why I put the antler on my Uncle Henry, so it fits my hand perfectly either way (edge up or down)

If I were buying a Cutco hunting knife again, I would buy the straight edge, not the "Double-D" I would also go clip point, not drop. But, short of doing something horrible to my Uncle Henry, or losing it, I'll keep using it as it has a good handle and just works so well for me.
