"Hunting" knife vs fillet/boning knife

[steelheadmike]

Benchmade just released a new line of fishing knives but I think a couple of them would make great hunting knives. The 7" fillet knife in magnacut might be a great boning knife and the small Intersect "bait knife" seems like it would be a handy little skinner. BTW, who the heck is going to use a $200 magnacut knife as a bait knife???

Someone who fishes 4x a year. Guarantee you won't find one of those on a commercial fishing boat. Nobody wants to loose a $200 knife overboard. I can about guarantee commercial fishers and charter boat guys are using victorinox $25 knives

100% that is what they use.

In the the woods I take a Benchmade Steep County (3oz) and a Worksharp Pocket Sharpener (2.4oz) and a small Outdoor Edge 8"saw (5.4oz). In the bino harness I have a Buck 110 light weight folder (3.2oz) in case I get separated from my pack or the other knife has an issue, etc. Often I use both and I dont need to touch any of them up. Pretty light set up...14oz.

At camp I have a big butchers hack saw, a few bigger fix blades, and boning knives.
