I skinned a 188 lb buck tonight and cut him up with a buck 110(plastic handle). It stayed sharp for the entire job.......In the past I've skinned-gutted-cut up many deer with a good 3 blade pocket knife. Now I like the 2 blade folding hunters. I use a Queen, a Case, a Boker(German) and a couple of Old Timers.......For deboning and cutting the meat up. Nothing beats a Rapala Fillet knife(I use 2).
Back when I did taxidermy I always used a good sharp 3 blade pocket knife to skin the head. Around the eyes-nose horns etc..
