What does the Menefee Kool-aid taste like? They look pretty nice for safe queens, but how do they perform where the rubber meets the road? I bought one of Rick's knives when he was producing "user" grade skinners and dulled it after only two days into an elk hunt. It would still shave slightly, but I had to re-sharpen it during the ride home from Colorado. Oh, did I mention that this one knife skinned five bull elk and two muley bucks. Guys, if you're not using these perfectly ground & tempered knives you're just missing out. I've searched high & low as well as wasted lots of time & money searching for a combination of blade shape and edge retention. Save yourself the headache and buy a Menefee Made knife first. I hope to see more posts about the function of Rick's knives on this forum. Rick would be proud to have more outdoorsmen using them, they're too good to leave at home collecting dust!
