Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What Knife/Knives did you use?

That is my "two handed Brisket-Breaker". Dale Howe who posts here as Mtnman1 fashioned that for me.

Here is his website should you want to contact him outside 24hourcampfire........

Local custom here is not to field dress, but to bring the carcass back whole to camp where we have a lighted skinning rack. We hang our critters from the hind legs using a gambrell. For years I used a Cold Steel "Outdoorsman" for the task of splitting the brisket in order to facilitate removal of the "innards", but Dale was kind enough to accomodate my request for a knife that I could grasp with two-hands for the downstroke. Yes I could use a hatchet, or camp axe or saw, but I like using a knife.
