Wouldnt be my first choice. For the little critters I'd be leanin towards a small foler with a blade no more than about 75mm long. Even the good ol' swiss army (basic mod, not with ALL the Sh1t!) would do a good job. Excaliber make some nice little cheap folders of reasonable quality available every where.
The size of game hunted is the main consideration. Having said that a sambar still only needs a 3-4 inch skinner to dress it. Far too many huge knive's being fought with in the field when a smaller one would be more suited. You may need a couple, a nice little folder for the bunny's (Joseph Rodgers "Bunny" is ideal funnily enough) and a 3-4 inch drop point skinner for the bigger critters like goats and such (spend what you want, something from cold steel will be reasonable value) But I can almost guarantee that you'll buy one, then another, and another, and another and it'll just keep going on and on!
