Best Gutting Knife
#32
I have been doing it like this going on 50 years.......
Make a small cut and use your fore and middle finger under the skin and you can use any Knife as long as it is good and sharp...

Fallkniven.That's all I got to say about this.Well maybe not Cabellas also has some very good knives with 3G steel. It's under their name but I believe Buck makes them.

I use the box cutter to open the stomach ,cut around the penis and anus and cut out the organs. Its also good for making a clean cut around the body, behind the shoulders, when caping for a shoulder mount ,but I think its actually too sharp for skinning. I also keep it in my HSS ,so in an emergency I can cut my tether strap very quickly if I had to.
For skinning and butchering, Ive used and outdoor edge kodi skinner for about 9 years.

I've use the case xx changer there about 100 dollars. I could not be more happy with it. It is a quailty made knife, comes with every blade need to do the job. I really like having the saw balde to cut through the pelvis. It makes for a quick and easy gut job!

I have had several BUCK Knives and I even gave one away to my brother last year because I had too many of them.
Around 1982, when I graduated from High School, I bought my first hunting knife from Kmart for about $15
The name on the sheath is Sharpe. It has a brown wooden laminate handle, chrome blade - about 6 inches long.
I have probably gutted over 200 deer with that knife.
As a matter of fact, my one brother, who has a good job and can afford any knife he wants, also bought a Sharpe knife after he saw what a nice job my knife does.
The stamping on my blade probably says Made In Japan and his says made in China. I usually sharpen my knife one or two times per a season and I use my knife to butcher meat - one or two deer per a year and it has never left me down.
At one time, I had gotten to the point of where I was so good with it that I could gut out a deer in less then 5 minutes and I didn't even take my coat off.
Cut out the bung hole, cut off the scent glands, open the belly from the anus to the throat. Reach inside and cut the windpipe, pull windpipe away from backbone. Cut the skin around the organs and dump the whole works out of the deer. As long as you have a second person to hold the legs open for you - it isn't a hard job when you have a sharp knife that can cut through the rib cage - which exposes the heart and lungs and windpipe.
