I can't think of too many situations that would require a hunter to skin a deer with a lightweight sheath knife. Certainly, you can field dress a deer with almost any knife.
I like to backcountry hunt and be able to fit the animal into
my pack. Having skinned a bear and a deer with an old Swedish
army knife, I found it tough to avoid poking holes in the hide.
I like the blade shape of the Pendleton. Just wondering if a
Mora comes in a similar pattern.
