what is your go-to turkey cleaning knife?

I like to debone my turkey in the field and I'm looking for a special purpose knife. I've been researching this subject for a few days and have across the Buck Paklite 'boning' knife. My little amount of experience tells me it might be a good knife for the job, but maybe some old timers have some better ideas!?

A good 8 inch Fillet Knife has served me well for the few turkeys I've bagged.
Keep it sharp.

I use a Rapala filet knife, keep a good edge on it and it's great for removing the breast meat.

Very sharp and not expensive. Does well on caping deer too.

This one is hard to beat for price and simplicity,  I have one that I couldn't count the deer hogs and turkeys I've deboned with it. And a few fish too ;) unless you are looking for the cool factor then look no further.
Genesis 1:26
   Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Whatever pocket knife is on me. Doesn't take much to do a turk. The knives you have posted are a little big for me. I like an old buck trapper style and that's often all I use

Case folding hunter. It can do it all from deer to turkeys. Usually carry a fixed blade for deer though.

Usually any pocket knife I have on me will do, but I really like my Havalon Piranta when I remember to pack it.
