just blood and gore.

These 3 were used so far this year on deer. Fox was an old pic of the knife. One more weekend coming up.

I saw that�.. but save it for later





I beg to differ. It's far to easy to freeze one's finger tips while wearing rubber gloves versus cotton skinning gloves�.and the 'blood puddle' in the insides is pretty darned handy at -30 when feeling in one's digits quit several minutes previous.

Besides, I think that rubber/latex/nitrile tend to degrade the subtle flavors of fresh warm liver, thinly sliced, when you lay it upon your tongue, fresh with the juices of life ebbing from them.

Is that before the 'dip', or after?....

I typically use the Anza on the far right. Made from a file blade. 2.75 inch blade. Holds an edge quite nicely. However, this year I used the Cold Steel on the far left for my elk. No idea why, I just did.


I think these carbon steel Mora's are under rated. For 10.00 they're a heck of a knife.


Paired with a 6.5x55.... They just go together.

I've used this one for 20+ years. It was one of the earliest in ATS34 and it fits me.

The last one was with the 25OT dad got me when I was 11. I killed the deer with his 35

I have the same knife, and it is the one I reach for if I have a big skinning job.

The goofy-looking handle is wonderful to use -- especially by the time you have half-way through skinning a big moose!

Tonight utilizing a new gift from 'fire member Kenjs1 on a fawn I shot w/ the ML at beginning of this month:

EFW- Lemme know how she works out for you.

Oh- it is sunny and over 70 degrees on my ride home tonight!

Gerber Magnum LST for the outside work, small Gerber LST for inside. The silly assed things are cheap and, once you get an initial edge on them, seem to stay sharp fairly well. If I lose one, I regret the time it took to get it sharp the first time more than the $$. That isn't a bad combination.

I suppose the little knife blade on my Leatherman "Micra" might have to be counted, too.

The only other knife I pack ... and that's only occasionally ... is a Buck Vanguard with a rubber handle and no gut hook. I can't see the point of packing a heavy knife if a light one gets the job done for me. I still use my Buck Special and General and my Gerber LMF but they stay at the truck / at home.

This knife by Twin Blades is the one that I have used to butcher the last few deer I've killed. It has a 4 inch blade of CPM S30V.

I've got a bunch of knives. Some are very nice, hand-made, expensive cutlery.

But I always seem to have a Buck 110 on my belt and an old Buck trapper in my pocket. Sometimes a Marbles 99.

Gene Ingram Chukar in Black Ash Burl and S30V.

Last I used was a boker plus dozier copy . Great knife for about $45. I have quite a few knives so I switch around quite a bit. My most used knife is a old western folder that I have had for probably35 years. Not an expensive knife but it has dressed a number of deer

Couple more from earlier in the year......

My Buck 110 is my typical go to knife. I do sometimes mix it up with a very nice custom made and three other Bucks. Next year I am going to try a new to me Uncle Henry 153UH Spikehorn.

Not a single Schrade Sharp Finger mentioned?

Sold my old Sharp Finger after not using it for many years. I didn't see the need for carrying a knife only for skinning.

Used my Okamura built knife on the only deer this season.
