A really sharp knife will shave your arm if you hold it at the right angle. But that's too sharp for field dressing; you're likely to cut the crap out of yourself if you make a little mistake. Plus, a knife with
that fine of an edge won't hold out well for cutting through thick skin, ligaments, sinew, etc. A knife that sharp is reserved for the actual butchering, IMO.
And people don't use box cutters because they don't come in camo or with leather-wrapped, steel-knobbed handles!
