I think I'm in the minority, I like a 3" knife. Last season I used a Svord Peasant and before that a Becker BK-11. This year I light try mt Mora Pro stainless
I like a caping knife for gutting and skinning. I find the wide sweeping belly popular for skinning knives is not as useful as a nice pointy tip and a blade with a slight sweep to it. I have a Knives of Alaska Cub bear that is about perfect for my use on white tailed deer.
I've also used a spyderco bushcraft knife with no apparent problems.
Gutting and skinning a deer is not terribly difficult and most knives will do. Assuming it is sharp, a knife out of your kitchen butcher block would serve you well.
I really like 5160. Great steel overall.
I have a oak 110 and a cocobolo 119 as well
I think I'll pick a 112 ranger next

gdpolk, those look nice to me.
