My friends laugh at me at deer camp I guess so. There have been a LOT of skinning knives posted and yes some are NOT skinning knives. eg. Buck 110 is not a skinning knife - I have 3 at least. My ? is, do you know what a skinning knife is ? Jerry jwall- * 3100 guy* A Flat Trajectory is Never a Handicap Speed is Trajectory's Friend !!

Steel seems good and it takes a wicked edge, has a fair amount of belly to the blade. I think it will work well. https://www.brisa.fi/brisa-knives/brisa-nessmuk-125-knife

Turned out high contrast with some chatoyance and a lot of grain that wasn't visible before staining/dyeing. I like the dark wood. I have been using this in the kitchen and on various projects, it is a useful design. Sears basically reproduced a buffalo skinner with his design. I couldn't figure out why the high bull nose, one source said it was fro prying the skin off. I went back and read woodcraft and it turns out that Sears used the knife as a spoon hence the high back.

I have skinned out two grizzlies on the North West salmon rivers without resharpening... anyone who has skinned a grizzly taken on a gravel salmon stream knows this is an impossible feat.

Especially so with Aus8A blade steel. Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
