My brother inlaw is a taxidermist. So my skinninh shed see's on average a hundred deer a yr in heads and capes. Thats a pile of fleshing.. and another good knife would help.
Its a daunting task on some days to work my critters and his through. This is the reason for new beams and upgrades to the shed

I don't get how you guys can push with your knives. Said screw it after the second beaver. Raise the beam up to your chest. Get the knife sharper than a razor and hit it with a steel after every critter or two. Should be able to hold the knife between both your hands with just your pointer fingers on the ends of the handles and shave the stuff off. Anything else is just wasting time in the shed.

When your working on someone's 500.00 cape and mount.. you tend to be cautious and waste time... not that I was asking about technique
But expected it..

If I was buying one it would be Lee Steinmeyer's parallel knife here; www.lptraplinesupply.com/knives.htmSon in law has the wide knife and it is great, but I like the parallel so that I don't have to switch hands to change from sharp to dull edges. Lee is good guy and if you want some change in the length or other custom fit, he will make one just for you. Caution, get it now because when trapping season opens Lee traps.
