[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2509945, member: 122164"] Elk Skinner made by McCrosky knives will do it all, in spades....you will become a true believer! My uncle was a taxidermist, and I have skinned hundreds of deer heads, untold fish, and birds. I know good knives. Most hunters are drawn to a knife by looks or price point and then make it work for a job best they can. Good sharp knives will cut deep just by pressing on the knife blade.....try that with your knife. Also, most will think that they need some large blade, the size it takes to ward off a Grizzley bear, but the opposite is true. That Elk Skinner will split the brisket on a nice buck in a skinny minute without damaging the blade, then still shave the hair off your arm two deer later. The Quality of steel used, Cryo, and heat treat make for some very different kinds of knife blades. The blade is my main interest, looks are way down the list. I want a Fantastic cutting tool that will get the job done on multiple animals, quickly without getting dull. A lot of custom knives are all about the pride of ownership in how they look or collectability, and I do not give a darn about either of these. I want a tool that works the way it should. [/QUOTE]
