 I use either an eye brand, or handmade knife I picked up in Germany when we had to pl there for a crapped out engine on our way hm from Iraq. its really personal preference though, a lot of different opinions, but I grew up around eye brands, they last for ever and hold an edge for a long time, even just sitting in the closet waiting on something to die to use it on. my dad used 1 for over 20yrs skinning deer, beaver, rabbits, possums, squirrels n so forth, and finally the blade got so thin, he had to buy another 1 and its been 15yrs since he bought that 1 n its still goin strong
