I have the Buck Alpha Crosslock and it has quickly become my favorite.

I like these too.

See Browning 828. Might be your new favorite too.

Looking to get a nice knife for my son. What do you guys recommend for a good all around knife that would mainly be used for whitetails? Not looking for the Yeti version, but something that is great all around. Would like to keep it under $200 and would not be opposed to a set of knives if that is what people prefer.

hard to beat a folding lock back from Gerber or Kershaw,,, and have plenty of change left over

That's what I have but I'm looking for something a little more special for him.

My favorite skinner is an Anza. I've had for about 7 years now. They're pretty also.

Outdoor edge, I have used the swingblade knife for several years! I love it, holds an edge very well and also is easy to resharpen!

I would go Stic for a fixed.

Folder, a nice 110.

EDC, Benchmade or the higher end Gerbers like their autos.

Havalon with a 100 pack of blades. He will still be thanking you 15 years from now! Then buy him a nice everyday blade with the remaining $130. I'm a knife freak, but I always reach for the Havalon and a fresh blade when it's time to skin.

For a skinning knife I have used cutco for over 15 years. I have both blades and though the "double d" will stay sharper longer I prefer the straight edge and will still skin 6-7 deer before I touch it up.

Cutco is what I carry in my back pack and I have had the same experience. Although they are not flashy knives they are very usable. I also carry the two blades "double d" and the straight edge and yes the straight edge will keep an edge very well and I use the "D-D" knife mostly for splitting the sternum but it works well as a skinner also. Free sharpening for life and you can have them etched with initials as well. Like I said not a flashy knife but a good knife.

I prefer a simple Kershaw Skyline. Cheap and holds a great edge that I can get razor sharp. I don't like big knives to to gut or skin though.
