I guess I'm just a knife slut.



I don't skin all that many deer these days.

But I do skin a hog now and then.

Where to start?



Dale Howe "Buffalo Skinner, 3V steel, rams horn scales.

Lotsa belly, and a good rough surface on the horn. But then I don't push much with a skinner. Mainly pull.




this skinner from Dale Atkerson, "Slaughterville Knives" with D2 steel and micarta scales is amazing in the hand. Prolly as sweet as any I own.




A drop point hunter by Mike Williams, leaf pattern damascus and amber dyed stag will do the job with aplomb!




a magical semi-skinner in A2 by Ricky Bob Menefee. I've skinned near a dozen hoglets and haven't had to touch the blade up yet!




Todd Theyn makes an awesome Nessmuk inspired skinner from L6 steel. Buffalo horn scales. A bigger knife that I normally use, but it will cut a hogs head clean off.



Got a half dozen Doziers in D2. The do the job nicely!

and last but not least, a special set from Gene Ingram. Nessmuk, A2, desert Ironwood scales......





I've become inordinately fond of the way this bigger knife works!


ya!
