What is the best Knife set to get for field dressing

[chicklovesherman]

Hey,

I've been sent on a mission so here goes...

What is the best knife set to get for field dressing/butchering once back at base? The hunter is an avid bow hunter (that will shoot as well) and he goes after mostly Elk, Deer and one day will try for a Mountain Sheep with his gun.
We need to find something that is easy to carry around, light weight and in a reasonable price range. I think anything over $150 is asking too much right now.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
I love my hunting man.

Kershaw blade trader, a handy 3 in 1 kit, skinner, small saw, gutter. My bud uses it all the time, I think they are under 100.00. Check out JB Outdoors, a small homebase business amongst mant that sell these Kershaw knives. FS

I like the Outdoor Edge knives.... the Kodi Pak, or Butcher Lite set should work fine for butchering, skinning, caping.. etc

Both should be well under the $130 mark. Be sure to check Ebay. I got a couple Outdoor Edge Outpacks for $70 each... They go for $160-$200 in stores around here...

Ive heard that cutco knives are pretty good. Problem is can't find any one who sells them.

Just check the post on CUTCO Knifes from three days ago or search it on this thread. There are a couple gentlemen on this forum that sell them. Dean can help you out for sure (DSP on this forum)

X2, DSP, (Dean) sells them with great service and you won't regret a cutco.
