If you ever happen upon a Ka-bar large game hook in a store, or on a website, buy it. I'm not talking about the new ones ka-bar came out with that have the stacked leather handles. I'm talking about the funny looking ones that have the rubber handles in black or orange. Ka-bar had the wise idea of discontinuing these knives for some reason. They're hard to come by, but they work GREAT. A few months back, my brother got a deer, and used his game hook to dress it, and his knife zipped right thru. Its unfortunate ka-bar felt the need to do away with these knives. The new leather handled versions are made in taiwan, and the original ones were made in America. I don't know how good (or bad) the new ones are. I can speak for the quality of the rubber handled ones, though!
