yeah, same roofing hook blades I use in my Stanley and dewalt retractables. But much smaller and easier to keep with you. Don't even notice it clipped to the back pocket of the Wranglers...
I do the gutless debone and quarter job and sack up the meat to backpack out. If this will unzip the hide on the dorsal cut and down the legs it will be handy.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
Those are super handy, I use them on beaver and can use on opening coyote legs too. I use the utility blade to cut around hocks and zipping up leg when working on a moose. Save the real knife blade from cutting through all that hair.
I can't really tell anymore, who made them. Maybe Sheffield? They come in a clear 100 blade dispenser with a yellow thumb lever to swing out a single blade with each push.There is a little rhino head on one side of the plastic, but the rest is all worn off from beating around in the toolbox. I either got them at Lowes or the local lumberyard.....
If a taller headed screw is used to secure the hook blade instead of the factory slotted screw, it could act as a thumb stud making opening the little zipper a one hand affair. The screw appears to be a metric M3. A M3 socket head cap screw could work if the head diameter is filed to fit in the unthreaded hole. I would have done this already if the the local ACE hardware stocked a SS M3 socket head cap screw.

Had the same thought ut i was gonna weld a bead on the screw head. I think a shcs is better.
couldn't find anything locally, so I cannibalized a busted kershaw folder. The male half of the thumbstud works fine. But ya got to use pliers on it, as there is no slot or allen....
Don, thanks for the nudge, just dug this outta my huntin bag, need some blades I’ll be gtg. Forgot I even had it..
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
