Chris Reeve Sebenza is my EDC knife.. I can't tell you how many animals have been broken down w the custom one pictured below it.. It has a thick spine and strong as a screwdriver to the tip. Great skinning knife and ball joint buster.
Mora 511. Costs $6. No stainless BS, just good old carbon steel. I lose things once in a while and see no reason to go any higher quality. Mostly hate folders for anything besides skinning- too easy to cut your fingers really bad.
EDC carry is a Kershaw Blur. Always been a fan of Ken Onion Kershaw's. In the field I carried an Ontario RAT-7 for almost 20 years. Just retired it and replaced it with an Esee 6. I like a slightly bigger blade for camp, bushcraft, and utility work than most people seem to like. Different strokes for different folks. For meat cutting I use a Dexter fillet knife and a CRKT Hootenanny folder.
