hey hankenhunter for skinning Deer I use a tin can lid the kind you cut off with a handheld can opener I fold one side of it over for a handle then sharpen the other side on some fine sand paper it works fantastic the curve of the lid is great for skinning and it gets really sharp .hankenhunter wrote:You guys are making me drool! I take old industrial
hacksaw blades, add an edge and a yew wood handle. Looks
like crap but works great. I left the teeth on one and found
out that sticking one inside a deer was asking for disaster!
I would post some pics but our camera\ camcorder took on a
life of its own. Buy cheap, get cheap at Sprawl Mart.
Happy cutlering,
Hank
I could buy a nice skinning knife if i wanted but the can lid works so well I see no reason to and I get a kick out of the can lid .
