When going through hunter training class years ago, I remember a great video about a grandpa taking his granddaughter hunting. Grandpa looked like he was at least in his 70's. Granddaughter shot a nice deer. Grandpa used a little folding pocket knife. Probably about a 3" blade non-locking. Gutted and cleared the cavity really quick. Then showed her a really cool trick. He dislocated the front leg joints and cut the skin a little so the the bone and skin formed a "T", then he slit the skin between the rear leg bones to form a kind of button hole that the front hoofs could go through. He pulled it out enough to engage the "T" toggle and had a gutted deer backpack to pack out.

But getting back to the topic at hand, using the same little pocket knife, he skinned and quartered the deer so quickly. I was extremely impressed.

I guess my point is, knowing how and having experience is more important than the knife you use. Just ask the grandpa.
