Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Trapping Fur shed knives.

I grew up on a small mink ranch in Southern Ontario. We would skin about 4500-5000 mink every fall. I've skinned 1000s of mink in my youth.

We used this type of knife in the pic for opening up the hide around the pelvis getting it ready to skin on the hydraulic puller. Once on the puller I used a 5" hunting style knife to cut around the head to prevent tearing the hide at the skull.
