I have an old Buck 107 that seems to get used most but I have a 2 knife lockback set (1sheath) also made by Buck that I carry most days and have used more than once.

I've used custom knives of all kinds, but a Case Slimline Trapper works as well as anything knife wise. Use a hatchet for cutting off the head, tail, and feet.

Folding knife, any small stockman style from a reputable company is fine. Case knives are always great.

Medium stockman's work very well. I have a Mike Sanders skinner that I've had for a long time that works well. I think a bark river smaller lightweight fox river could do.

Guess you can call me cheap, but my go-to knife for cleaning squirrels and bunnies is a 4" Rapala fillet knife. Good for skinning and deboning. Game shears then make quick work of cutting off the feet and head.

I believe smart it the word you are looking for. I could clean a squirrel with a flint.

Also used a Case slimline trapper for many years, and would first cut the feet and tails with an my old faithful sidecutters. Recent years went to a Kershaw Leek. Dandy knife, and love their Skyline also for a camping, deer hunting knife.

I also like a Fillet knife for Squirrels!
Have used several different kinds of knives, for them, but I always seem to wind up with a fillet
Knife in my hand!

Local guy put this one together for me. My design, specifically for small game. Giraffe bone handle. I need to get a nice leather sheath made for it one of these days.
