knife recommendation

Gerber Gator $40 at Amazon. Get the one with the 154CM steel if you want to spend a little more. I've cleaned hundreds of animals with one.

I wanna give a young man, 16 a new decent knife for Christmas--this young guy is VERY experienced with outdoors stuff--hes been a tourney fisherman, he showed me how to field dress and quarter a deer (yeah that was humbling), been to Philmont Scout ranch etc etc..--anyways the knife will be used for all round work--dressing deer, bush type stuff---
folding or fixed?
length?

I bought a couple for my kids. The deal has changed a bit but a great deal still. American made, customized knife. $10
