The following photo is of my first hunting knife.  I was about 12 years old (memory fails) when I got this one at a store in Harrisburg, PA.  It was purchased with coupon dollars that the store gave me when I bought clothing.  No manufacturers name is etched on it, but I suspect it may be an Imperial knife.  Over the years, I carried it while hunting game, both small and large.  I learned the technique of sharpening a blade on it.  

I remember loaning it to a friend to gut a buck and he put a dent in the blade.  I did grind that dent out, and continued to use this knife for hunting chores.  I'm not sure how often it was used on game, large or small, but it was many times for sure.  Over the years I aquired other fixed blade knives and this one got retired.  Now, it is just a treasured memory.
