I think it’s all personal preference and level of skill. I’m more of an options kind of guy, the more I have access too the better (within packing limits). I always say that traditional knives are traditional for a reason...because they work and get the job done.
For field dressing, I have a Remington Knives R3 Big Game Lockback that was gifted to me by my wife. It has excellent steel (defined as easy to re-sharpen to almost razor-like sharpness) with a main cutting blade and a second blade with saw teeth and cape/skin cutting blade. I have added the Butt-Out to my field tool kit. Different kit for processing at home. I note that I also take two gallons of fresh water with me to completely clean out the chest, abdominal and lower rectal/bladder area to ensure no meat contamination. Over 40 years of deer hunting, the field dressing kit has evolved and gotten more complex in an effort to get the best quality of meat. I still learn more every year. Appreciate the information you’re giving in your video. Wish I had it when I started. 👍🏼👍🏼
Used nothing but a Schrade LB7 for years and a Buck 119 also. Just like you using your Buck 110. Also like you been adding changes over the last few years. Best addition is one of the new gut hooks out there that use utility blades and this is a biggy , with my aging eyes I like everything to be flo orange.
I like my 110, I also love my vintage sharp finger. My vintage western deer knife is also great, but what I find myself using the most is a skinner and guthook/dressing knife set that looks to have been a free gift from some wildlife conservation organization. It requires more frequent sharpening but the ergonomics just fit me better. There was once a gut hook knife on the market that took standard utility blades, I wish I could find one of those
Are you talking about the Stanley 1996 (that's the model number) utility knife blade? The one with the hooks? It will fit Stanley utility knives, including the classic model 99. Stanley also makes some knives that are specific for pull cutting, function like gut hook knives. I never thought of using one in the field. Might work.
@@wdtaut5650 we used the hooked utility blades this year, easier to cut for sure, also easier to accidentally cut guts. If you’re careful they work great
The way to use those saws is start the cut and back off on the hard pressure and let the saw do it's thing. The blade is exactly the same as our folding brush saws for camping and hard pressure just causes them to bind up. Nice steady medium pressure these saws work great. Looks like a nice saw to trim very small limbs as well as a bone tool. A little practice cutting some limbs in the yard will give you a 'feel' for the saw.
The Butt out is in my bag along with a bone saw. The kit looks very interesting and with Xmas coming the price of venison may be going up! Thanks for the review!
I’ve played around with all ways of field dressing game I’ve used all sorts of knives. I carry in my kit more knives then what I need. I always have a fixed blade, a havalon and an outdoor edge field razor with gut hook blades and a butt out ll tool. However I have recently bought a Wyoming knife to give it a try. I don’t carry a saw as I don’t spilt the chest or the pelvic bone.
Hadn't heard on that one, so I looked it up. Looks pretty cool. I think that design would take a little getting used to, if you're used to a normal knife shape. I like the concept, though. Might have to try it out, this season.
@@TheRealOutdoors yeah man its different but works like an extention of ur finger just slicing away lol. Was at 2019 shot shot rated #1. Made field dressing easier amd faster.🤘🏼🤘🏼 hope to see a review one day from ya
I agree that the outdoor edge razor pro combo is the best hunting set. I have the same razor pro and saw combo. And im also buying the outdoor edge RazorMax fixed blade knife this Thursday.
I like that fixed blade! I love that Outdoor Edge is making strong replaceable blade knives. The other ones are so delicate. Doesn't seem to make sense.
@@TheRealOutdoors i agree the knives like the gerber vital or the havalon knives they use those small scalpel blades and i dont like that. I like outdoor edge because they use better blades and they also have a better locking system. I cant wait to get the fixed blade knife and go test it out. Another good feature about it is it uses the razor pro blades as well so you have a skinning knife on top of a boning/fleshing knife
I tried several butt outs and they were so flimsy they broke. Good idea if they were stronger. Buck 110 and buck lite are great. I could get the lite sharper than the 110.
@@TheRealOutdoors TJ I use them for tying off after the butt out. Just wire ties (I used to use bread ties, but the ones used to attach toys to packaging are bigger and Lord knows I have plenty of them!
I like these replaceable blade knives but I seem to get fat and blood and hair up into the crevice that the blade slides into and its a pain to clean it out, also needs at least 2-3 blades to fully dress a deer and that's being careful not to cut too much hair or hit bones. I have a Buck 102 Woodsman that I fully dressed and processed 4 deer with before it needed to be resharpened and its not that large or heavy of a knife. If they could get these blades to hold an egde better for longer that would be great for now I am going back to my buck fixed blade
I hate bone saws. I use this other thing that’s like a rope or chain with handles on it. (Can’t think of the name at the time of writing this) I cut to the ribs, go to the neck and find the soft spot and make a cut. Stick the chain in their and stick my hand up in the ribs and and grab the handle and start sawing the ribs. I also use this to cut the hope bone.
TJ I've used my buck knife all my life for everything, but my Dad asked if I wanted a kit or set for a birthday gift, so I looked you up. What about using a gut hook?

I’ve had the 110 for almost 10 years. I don’t recall ever sharpening it (haven’t needed to). I always have one with me in hunt camp, but haven’t taken one in the field with me.
Do you mean the gut hook (I know I said skinning blade in the video)? I've found it to be extremely sharp and used it on several deer. It would be a challenging blade to sharpen, but I haven't felt the need, yet.
Buck 110 for many years, I'm 68 and still ALWAYS carry the 110.

I do have the Outdoor Edge butcher kit but like you every deer that I've ever harvested has been field dressed with a Buck 110.
Buck 110, Buck 119, and Buck 124. My three favorite outdoors knives.
Also, agree with your comments on the Buck 110.

Gerber makes one called the vital zip!

That's a nice combo set, good to know. Thanks Tim
I have the outdoor edge saw with the t handle it's great. I also have the permanent swing blade with the gut hook.

You’re using your butt out wrong if it keeps breaking. Watch a few RUclips videos on the proper use and you’ll love it!
Zip tie would be a great addition I think
I carry zip ties for attaching my tags. What do you use them for in field dressing?
@@TheRealOutdoors after using the butt out, what do you use to tie off with? string or zip tie?

I misspoke in the video. I said skinner, but it’s really a gut hook that comes in this kit. Works like a champ.
Hi,
Buck 110 (Dukes of Hazard model!) I have the 110 and the outdoor edge knide with the gut blade, but not the saw combo. Good video.
When you used the 110 did you take a sharpener with you to the field?
THanks -Reed
I’ve had the 110 for almost 10 years. I don’t recall ever sharpening it (haven’t needed to). I always have one with me in hunt camp, but haven’t taken one in the field with me.
Lies at the real outdoors. Every knife loses its sharpness.
Cool set thou
Not lies. Didn’t say the knife never needed to be sharpened. I haven’t felt the need to sharpen this one, yet. YMMV.
I’ve gutted out 5 deer in one season with a 110 it never needed sharpening I do prefer the 110 with the drop point style blade tho
Love your channel , very clear info ,and a very genuine guy . Good shit 😁 +1 Sub
Thank you!
I'm looking at this combo, but I'm concerned about the edge on the skinning blade. What are your thoughts?
Do you mean the gut hook (I know I said skinning blade in the video)? I've found it to be extremely sharp and used it on several deer. It would be a challenging blade to sharpen, but I haven't felt the need, yet.
Great information, does the replaceable blades stay sharp for awhile or dull quickly?
In my experience, it dulls fairly fast.
@@TheRealOutdoors Thank you for the reply.... on the fence of what knife to buy next
@@HollywoodMGB3 I'm telling ya, outdoor edge is an awesome knife. I've had mine 8 yrs and would buy another tomorrow
Why use the kit if the 110 is better? It is smaller, sharper, etc? Why carry more if less is better?
Let's talk about hygene: how do you clean your kit?
I generally let it soak in hot soapy water for a bit and then use soap, hot water, and a scrub brush to do a deep clean
@@TheRealOutdoors Thanks!
How much is a but out
$10 on amazon
Hey, found your channel and like it a lot. Great videos. Subscribed to the channel. Crow✌️
Welcome aboard!
If have the tools don't work in optimal performance then the kit is half not worth it and in my book it's then point less
Not a skinning blade, it a gut hook.
Did I say skinning blade in the video? My bad. Definitely a gut hook.
Never have too many tools to get the job done.
