A quality huntin­g knife is versatile enough to do everything the average hunter needs -- from skinning the animal to splitting through its ribcage and bone. When you're choosing a hunting knife, it's important to consider how you'll use it and the type of game y­ou plan to hunt.
Once you've determined what size knife you want, consider how often you hunt. If you only hunt occasionally and you want a knife that can be used for a variety of purposes, you may want a smaller folding blade knife. If you're a dedicated hunter and plan on using your knife only for hunting, a solidly-built fixed blade knife may make more sense
