I use any one of the half dozen bird and trout style knives I have from Mike Miller.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I have a new scaled down B&T coming from Charles May specifically for squirrel skinning.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Imperial Shrade "Cracked Ice" liner lock. Small, fits in the little pouches I carry rimfire rounds in. Blade locks. One blade, all I need for squirrel and rabbit. It is the peanut model. Was 10 bucks ea. Just found out they closed shop. Went on the epay and bought two more for my other grap n go rimfire pouches with bullets and mags in them. Btw, I have an offer in the classifieds to help kids with holey pockets out.

You don't need a machete, so any small(ish) pocket knife that can be easily sharpened. Dressed out a mess of squirrels once with one of those "gentlemen"s fingernail" knife! WAY too small!

Yup. This is what I have used 95% of the time for bunnies and tree rats my whole life.

1+ for the 4” Victorinox boning knife - relatively flexible blade, holds edge well, blade and grip are easy to keep sanitary, grip is plenty big/ergonomic, and it’s relatively inexpensive. Only downside is finding a sheath. Mine goes on every trip and has helped process deer to squirrels. I have sexier, more expensive knives but they rarely, if ever get used on the game processing table.

There's no reason to use a knife or tool to breast birds out. It's super fast and simple to just use fingers. Just takes a couple seconds. Had some Canuks show me.
