Two handed "Brisket Breaker" by Dale Howe Something about a Negra Modelo that goes well with a hog-skinnin' knife. Here's one with a Ready's 24HCF knife: And with a Kershaw Blur folder: FC

I look at those beautiful knives, an realized that I should never have one, simply because all of knives spend a good bit of time after every usage in a bleach and water soak. Makes for clean knife but would really screw up the nice wooden, horn and antler handles.
Still love sees pictures of beautiful tools.
Thanks GRF

I'm down to using a vicky paring knife and a Havalon when hunting. I am using just a paring knife 99% of the time. Couldn't find it on the sheep and ended up using my dull as church buck mayo kaala for the whole thing. I like that knife when it is sharp, but that sucked. The sharpener was "lost" with the vicky - in my pack.

Have used the Havalon on the last 4 deer and could not be happier for most of the work.

all of knives spend a good bit of time after every usage in a bleach and water soak. Don't forget the rubber gloves and hand-sanitizer before AND after bloodying those blades. And always wear a dust mask. Animal dander is an muchly under-recognized danger that all hunters eventually face. Even those that have household pets, can be susceptable to the occasional sneeze. And don't forget to burn any clothing that comes into contact with animal body fluids, immediately upon contact. Call 911 as soon as you think you've been exposed to even the most minor of germs. Get into the habit of taking antibiotics every morning, right after your One-a-Day.......

I asked the biologist at Kerr WMA about diseases in hogs and he said they carry stuff like brucellosis, psuedorabies, and tularemia. He said he used to clean them without gloves and would put dip in with bloody hands and says it's a miracle he's still alive. Now he wears gloves and mask.

I've been using an old Puma Hunter's Pal for 14 years now. My wife just started hunting two years ago and I thought she should have a knife of her own, so I just picked up a Bark River Springbok with antique linen micarta scales.

I'm pretty sure that the GRF I've come to know a wee bit via the phone and PM's won't need all of the medications prescribed and hopefully he gets a chuckle too. In light of my cyber friend GW upping the ante with porcine testicular photographic contributions - I'll just say I'll see GW's pork bits and raise him one blowed up mulie heart. Now I do realize that this isn't from this year and I'm not wearing the gloves you suggested - but hopefully I can be forgiven both faux pas. I've really enjoyed this thread folks - thanks to all who've contributed and all the best to you and GW and your respective others in the up coming week Don. Dwayne PS; Eldest daughter has actually developed allergies to deer hair and needs to wear gloves now.... I just gotta pack reading glasses along with the knives now - a by product of passing a half decade on this earth no doubt. Best to you all again.

You might tell yer biologist buddy about these new-fangled protection devices now used by the most discrimination hunters. Have him google 'haz-mat suit'. Available on Amazon, I reckon......

I keep a few Opinel #8s around. I gave the #8 Trekking style with the red handles to my son's scout patrol. I dumped the little leather lanyard and made a longer and more useful paracord lanyard for them.
Another couple of inexpensive folders that I like are the older Buck 442 and 455 with partially serrated blades. The 455 is so small that it easily fits in the watch pocket on my jeans.

Used this parer on everything from elk to lion. Weighs almost nothing on backpack hunts. Did a javelina last month. Going to reshape this old carbon knife into a skinning parer, it should be unique.
