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.

dunno what happened to the pics. but heah dey is again. I found out today the hook blades are the schizzle on baler twine. Just hook and tug....
What brand hook blade are you using? I've Craftsman and Stanley and neither have the round outer edge you show in the pics. I would like to know the brand as well

you seemed to miss my answer to carbon...... 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.....

judman, I think they are wanting the wider-hooked, more open style, rather than the standard roofing hooks like the Ace's you pictured. Like'n dis....

FYI, I was able to find some blades at Lowes that fit and have a more open hook-

Bought a couple of these and handed them out. We used them on a moose and a caribou and one wolf. They are awesome.

Love these little Gerber EAB knives. I’ve carried one for around 10 years now. Never thought to use the roofing blades, genius!

Thanks Hunts, I just picked up the Husky verison, of these for a good Bud and myself, will keep an eye open for the gerber ones! Husky were 6 bucks and they have a clip also, going out with the Xbow this afternoon, hope to be able to give this a try! Did take a doe last week,and used my cheap trapper one till it broke 3/4 the way down the belly.
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I used to use a Wyoming knife, it was handy to open up deer.
I like the carpet knife blade idea. I been using a Wyoming for many years. I typically swap knives during the cleaning process but the Wyoming did more than simply unzip for me. . Last year I left it at home and used my Canadian Belt knife for everything and I have to say I didn't really miss the Wyoming. I didn't skin the deer though - just gutted it. The little hook really are great around the legs et all if you going to pull the cape.
