Saddle Mountain skinner 15001-1 S30V steel, G10 handle and factory kydex sheath. Factory edge never sharpened. Used to skin one elk and it still shaves hair on my arm (I washed it after shaving). $160 shipped.
Griptilian 154CM steel. Factory edge never sharpened. Used on the same elk and it still shaves hair on my arm (yes, I also washed it) $125 Shipped.

No boxes as these were going to be my forever knives. However, with lots of time in retirement I am getting nostalgic and am using the knives I started hunting with 40 years ago.

Just curious why you used both knives on the same elk?

All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.

The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.

Use two cause I'm a bit anal. Always take two on a hunt. Used the Griptillian to cut the hide along the back and down the legs. Then the skinner to skin it gutless method. Probably easier/better ways but that's what works for me.

Not only is the skinner handsome, it fits in the hand very nicely.

Griptillian is a great knife. Is that the mini one or full size?

Pal that I rescued from Mom's laundry room for boning
One of Grandma's kitchen knives that is a decent skinner
