pm69442....i should been more descriptive...what i mean is when you are using the knife, do it between the actual hide and the meat....dont cut the hair to make your cut...only place i cut some hair is when going around the legs but then i get my knife between the hide and meat and slice open the hide which doesnt cut the hair at all....it works...i havent had a problem with hair on my meat...and we skin 5-10 deer a season and a bunch of furbearers which cutting hair and fur on would be costing us money.....its hard to describe in text..

i have heard of the torch trick before...good tool to have incase hair does get on the meat...but if your careful you can keep hair off your meat...
