The Canadian boot knife is a very versatile design. From field dressing, to quartering, to processing back at camp or kitchen.Immediate DQ due to the slick, skinny handle.
I have the victorinox 6 inch curved boning knife you noted. I have about 6 of them and I carry one in my pack as its a bit long for my kill kit. I find a lot of uses for those at home, camp and field and find them to be a great all purpose tool. They are light weight.

Victorinox 6” Curved Flexible Boning Knife ( same steel as 4”, and I like this knife for when I’m processing at home, but wondering if blade is too flexible for field work, and blade might be a tad long)
Some that I was looking at wondering if they are worth it … and if you have any other suggestions let me know
