Many of you have seen pics of this 23 in the past. This is my carry knife for deer season, and I recently posted a pic of it laying on a deer as it was field dressed. This is what it looks like clean. There is a story with this knife too for anyone interested in hearing it again. I got this knife from a friend that bought it in the 70's after returning home from Vietnam. He lives out west and hunts with a bow only. This knife has dressed and skinned many deer and elk for him before it ever came to be my carry knife. I have recently received a model 25 and am thinking of retiring this one from deer season but haven't actually made up my mind yet. I like the blade length a lot, and since it is like a model 8 in shape, I love the design! This really is a great knife that can be used for any purpose a hunter/outdoorsman would need.
