I prefer to use a drop point fixed blade for dressing and skinning my deer. This fancy handled model by Elk Ridge (import) has good steel although not exceptional steel. It holds an edge reasonably well. Its easy to sharpen with a few strokes upon ceramic sticks.

I've had good luck with imported economy priced brands such as Rough Rider, Frost, Timber Wolf, Schrade, and Ridge Runner. BUCK still builds amazing knives, too!
