I own several knives, but these are my favorites. Top is an Estwing with blood groove I bought 30 years ago. Try finding one now, and below is a much newer but old school design Sheffield Skinner made by A.Wright and Sons. Proper high carbon steels. I'm guessing the Estwing is D2 and the Sheffield is 1070 or 1090.

How would one use ANY knife for hunting?
What is a 'hunting' knife anyway? I would say one that does more than one specific job...is a skinning knife necessary for skinning?
