I skinned and butchered 8 deer with a McCrosky Elk Skinner, and touched it up, just for giggles and grins afterwards. A friend had the McCroskey Trapper Set, and he skinned 300 Beaver that Winter and never touched up the knife.

I hate having to stop and touch up a knife in the middle of a skinning and butchering job.

A lot of knives went on Ebay after I discovered the McCroskey knives.
