I bought my dad a Gerber skinning knife with a gut hook a few years ago and was very unimpressed. The blade wasn't all that sharp right out of the box and was about as useful as a butter knife after skinning about a quarter of a medium sized doe.
The next season, he bought the Outdoor Edge Kodi-Pak, which we've been very happy with. The saw cuts through bone very quickly and both knives came razor sharp and have remained so after field dressing 4 or 5 deer.
