I have the original wyoming skinner when they first came out and use it about every year on elk or mulies and whitetail. It does the job zipper fast. It came with two blades that are removeable by two screws and I sharpen the blades on a stone and then on a set of crock sticks. I have never found a knife that had a gut hook that I actually liked. Either the handle, steel, or not user freindly. Theres a knife for every job and thats why I carry a whyoming skinner. You can't have one knife to do everything.
