What grit finish for a hunting/fishing knife?

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Since he said he doesn't use it for any particular situation, I decided to clean up the bevels on my DMT Duosharp stone. Then to pretty it up a bit I hooked it up to the precision adjust. Looks like I fixed up the wonky bevels to about 18dps. Decided to take it up to 800 grit. Quite sharp, very slightly toothy. Excited to see what he thinks!

Ohh he will like it, never had anyone complain about a sharpened knife before.

(Have had a few “it too sharp now” comments from the mates significant others over from doing kitchen knives)

Can't add any better info. Like most commonsense guys, I use what I have. If I have more time, I take things further. But I mostly focus on "sharp enough."

Personally, when I do not seek middle ground, I end up with one knife for cutting scales and bones, and another for flesh.

Practically, this one can do it all at any grit.
