Folding knife or fixed blade?

[Alan]

When you're out in the field, do you trust a solid fixed blade or a practical folding knife for processing game and dealing with rough terrain? I’m eager to hear your stories!

I usually carry one of each. But for field dressing/processing I use a fixed blade. Mostly because they're easier to clean. Too much gunk gets in a folder and if you don't completely clean it really well after field dressing (hot soapy water, blow it out with an air hose and lube it), a folder will eventually get all gummed up making it harder to open/close.
