If you will be hunting mostly upland and the occasional deer, I’d recommend the model 7-4.5 inch (mine has a walnut handle) in or a model 26 ( mine is an LL Bean stag handled version). I used them last year to clean a bit over a 140 ducks, geese, and grouse. They are excellent knives.

A couple of other models to consider are the 28 and the 8. I’ve had two model 28s, that my #2 son and a neighbor now own. The model 8 is a nice knife for the purpose too. My two model 8 are now with #1 daughter, as she likes Randall’s with stag handles.
