I liked the throw away gut hook idea so much I bought a 50 pack at menards when it was on sale and gave everyone in a deer crew a few blades. Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

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.

I've Craftsman and Stanley and neither have the round outer edge you show in the pics.

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..... Last edited by huntsman22; 12/20/19.

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.

The male half of the thumbstud works fine. But ya got to use pliers on it, as there is no slot or allen.... Last edited by huntsman22; 12/24/19.

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. Ain’t easy havin pals.
