If you want a good tool that you will want to use all year spend some money and get a good knife. My Busse's will still shave after field dressing, chopping wood, and they're rust resistant enough that you don't have to worry about blood being on them.
You most likely spend a good bit on the a nice gun that you use a few times a year, get a good knife that you can use daily.
So far this is the best advice in the whole thread.
