I've hunted those sneaky SOBs for 60+years so I know taking a buck of that caliber is an accomplishment.

I don’t have a deer pic. Just my elk. But always a fixed blade on my hip. Havalon or outdoor edge with extra blades in the pac. https://imgur.com/a/2LxZl
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I skinned 8 deer and butchered them with this guys knives, at our deer club, then another guy with a cusom knife borrowed mine after his would no longer cut:
McCroskey Custom Knives StillWater OK 877-256-4837 mccroskeyknives.com
I skinned and butchered two elk with one of his elk skinners, never needed to touch it up
A good friend, skinned 300 beaver before his got dull
There are knives, then there are working knives.

There are knives, then there are working knives. You posted this exact post a few weeks ago....Someone called BS on the 300 Beaver claim. You might want to explain the claim....It does seems outrageous. 🦫

I used a J A Henckels Friodor (top) for over 40 years. The last 4 or so, I've been using a Grohmann #1 (middle) or a #3 (bottom) with stag scales, and really like them. The Henckels still always gets a ride in my pack. I carried the Grohman Bird & Trout for deer work several years. They are nice knives.

Not my pics, but they show the models. Mine are older USA made. Uncle Henry LB5: [ Linked Image] Old Timer 1250T: [ Linked Image] Carried an Old Timer like that for many years. It disappeared and I replaced it with a Buck 110. I don't like the sheaths for either and carry in my front pocket. I like the Schrade better as it doesn't eat through my jeans as fast. Damn shame they quit putting the hole in them.

Speaking of sheared beaver, my old barber Manny used to claim he volunteered down at the maternity ward on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He was a character.

Been using this Boker for years. Sharpens easy and holds a razor sharp edge. Only gut 2-3 deer max per year though with it. I don't ever use it for anything else. [/url]
