I used to use smaller knives but One day I killed a monster, 13 points and a very big body. I just clipped his back and broke it so I needed to finish him quick. I never cut a throat and I was NOT going to start with this one I was hopping to mount. The knife I had In my pocket was a 2 3/4 in lock blade and it was to short. I went in right behind the right shoulder and was holding the knife by the end of the handle and almost lost it in the rib cage. I have carried a little larger knife ever sense. But I agree a 2 3/4 in blade is plenty for field dressing a deer. Ed
He is on my wall and the kids named him Frankie.
