The 110 I mention was my and still is my skinning knife. Nothing fancy. And I ain’t no gopher gunner dipshît that’s only popped 2 deer in my whole life. 🤣

Lost a couple little knives in gutpiles. No sadness, $10 for a gutpile blade. Did a couple with a box cutter blade in my Stanley roofing knife.
I like a little longer blade for deer. The 3 3/4" blade of a typical folding hunter is good. Makes it easier to core out the ass hole. I ain't carryin a saw.
