OP questions:
-Can someone recommend a good knife to use for food prep during camping hunting trips?
-What do you guys prefer?
About "tactical kitchen knife", TOPS Pasayten Light Traveler is the classic standard one.
Blade Length- 5.25"
Blade Thickness- .13"/.14"
Price- $140.
Here is an online comparison article:
"It comes with a very practical and high quality, adjustable Kydex sheath and it is made standard with 154CM Steel, an amazing stainless that strongly resists rusting yet takes an edge easily and is soft enough to be durable and resist chipping. The knife is twice cryo treated, too, and this perhaps explains the knife’s almost preternatural ability to hold an edge. Last year, I harvested two deer, a dozen hares and grouse and on the homestead we butchered 100 chickens. I processed them all with the Pasayten and it remained functionally sharp through all that work without even needing an edge touch up. The amazingly comfortable and versatile handle allows the knife to be used in any position and in reverse it’s sort of like an elongated ulu, and it is unbeatable for foraging and butchering game. It is a hair more slender at the spine but equally well balanced and weighs about an ounce less–still very tough but a little more graceful in the hand."

The Tops Pasayten is good knife for all round camp use and the newer TOPS Frog Market Special is another versatile food processing blade.
