I started skinning cows at 11 years old with a 7 in. old hickory butcher knife , it don't really matter what kind of knife you use it is more of being able to make due with what you have . if you have to have special blade,s may be you need to get your skill,s better
I have a couple of those, and a couple of the boning
knives from O.H. and Russell G.R. as well
They're made for cutting up animals, and people
that make small chunks of meat from an animal
carcass for a living have been using the same
basic patterns for many years
