Blade Length for Hunting Knife?

[Skoghund]

Did your Frontier skinner look like this?

It was made by Imperial.



Absolutely! Things change over the decades, it used to be that stainless knives were harder to find, now, Mora is one of the few that make a laminated carbon steel blade.

This one has a 12C27 stainless blade, and when you factor in that and the plastic sheath, Mora knives are a real value.

I'm going to try something my pastor suggested. He uses these big bolt cutters to cut through ribs and cut off legs and such. I've been sawing them off for years and it's a pain. I figure to just get a cheap, but large pair of bolt cutters, probably from Harbor Freight. It sounded like a good idea.

This is why the Lord made sawsalls. My Ryobi gets a work out every time I butcher. Even with a 3" bladed knife, I have never had problems with ribs when field dressing. The trick is to cut off-center and not go through the sternum.

Shoot, a serrated edge cuts right through the sternum for me. That's why I like a partial serrated blade on a field dressing knife. I gotta find my old Gerber Gator Serrator. Man, that thing was good field dressing with. Pretty good skinner, too.
