D2 is fine for a sportsman with the expectation of handling a single big animal
It's impractical for a professional in a hunting remote camp like most of Africa.
It's far to difficult to get sharp once it becomes dull. If you have the patience and planning to touch it up with a diamond hone frequently while skinning it last fairly well. However few of us do with failing light or other issues that require hurried skinning.
D2 stays sharp much longer then typical Rockwell hardened stainless steel blades. It's just awful to get sharp again in the field. I (we) prefer to carry two knives run them to dull and sharpen them again. Or have one sharpened by somebody while the other is in use.
No worries, our hunters will not touch any trophies. That's handled by my staff!
