Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Regular belt knife (either the bushcrafter or a Sami knife). I use either a Frost butcher knife or a Cold Steel "Red River".

The Nessie when I'm after big game and the antler handled knife for birds and fish.
The Helle is always in my hunting pack.

Knives of Alaska set, Cub Bear (caper), Muskrat (skinner). I use these for furbearers.
Gerber big game set, gut hook skinner, bone saw. I use for field dressing deer.
Case XX 6207 SS medium trapper. I use for small game and game birds.
Gerber Gator (older US made) fixed blade. I have in my hunting pack regardless of game pursued.

posting pictures is unfortunately beyond my rather limited computer and technical skills.but that's what i use:
my main skinning knive is a small fixed blade from "BUCK KNIVES". the rubber handle is rather crappy(too soft) and as it is wearing off will be replaced with hardwood scales soon(already made several month ago but -due to travelling- not mounted yet). it has been used for rabbits, possums, hares and wallabies(have'nt hunted anything bigger yet). lives permanent on my belt with my "leatherman supertool" and my beloved "puma".
for fishing i use a fillet knive "made in china"- actually two knives turned into one: i found the knife at one fishing spot and a matching sheath shortly after on another one. not a super-quality-tool, but it works well enough for me since more then 7years and has gutted countless fish and seen quite a few miles. once i lost it, three afternnoons search unsuccesful and then: there it was, just a few m away from my pushbike...!
for "chopping up" i use sometimes a meat cleaver or a cheap pair of secateurs.and once my parang to behead a freshwater turtle(it took the bait and the hook was unremovable; releasing would have meant a slow and cruel death!!!) before cooking it (!!! in australia!!!)
