I gave my dad a scout (?) pattern- I think it a #73, but am not confident. Either way, it's a small trapper pattern (2-blade folder) with stag handles. With it, he has processed all of the deer he has shot since receiving it. That is a dozen or more. But, he uses a reciprocating saw for bones. No issies, however, with navigating joints with those sharp and thin blades. In general, we both prefer pointy knives over deep bellies knives for processing deer.
