Three bladed knife

[woodmaster]

I bought one of the victorinox hunter knives. A main blade, a serrated curved blade with rounded end for unzipping, and a saw. I have it in my stalking jacket pocket as I sometimes forget to put my fixed blade on when just nipping out. I have found it very good on both roe and MJ and the odd fallow. Very sharp, saw is stiff enough to cut the breast on the fallow no problem. I don't bother with the serrated blade for unzipping as I use the finger on end of blade method, but it is excellent for running up the legs when skinning. Main blade is a bit thin and lacks a very sharp point when first bought which made it useless for bleeding or hocking the legs. That was soon remedied on a stone.
As a main knife for roe and MJ it would be fine, but a little small for larger deer if they are the main subjects.
Hope that is of help.
Both blades lock and unlock easily.

I have a copy of the browning from blades and bows it fine, must have done over a hundred deer by now with it.
Bit of a faf to clean and stererlise but can be done. I just sharpen mine on the kitchen sharpener and is good for 3 muntjac legs and head off included which is were I knock the edge off the blade but it soon sharpens

What do you use to remove the fourth leg?

Thanks for the pointers everyone, I can't say we've hit the nail on the head but food for thought nonetheless. I think I'll probably stick with the single bladed folder as nothing has quite convinced me yet.
Cheers and I'm still interested in any further suggestions!

both great knives - prefer the Wenger if I had to pick

I'm with Free Forester on this one, I use a David Stretton saw and a Cold Steel Pendelton Lite Hunter knife. I have tried many combinations but this is the best I have found so far, the saw easily deals with red, sika and roe and both are easy to clean as there are no difficult areas to get into to clean.

I picked this up in a curio/junk shop a couple of years ago. The main blade locks,it has a 16 bore cartridge extractor, a good saw and a blunt tipped blade for opening the carcass.
The blade gets shaving sharp and I love it !
