I have a chipaway knife, I don't think that I'd gut a deer with this one, 15" blade, and built in brass knuckles. The blade is good though, and it keeps a good edge during cutting stuff. If their blades are as consistent like other cutleries blades, then if your blade is shaped right for gutting, it should do you ok.

I have owned knives made by at least a dozen different companies.My favorites are still two old PUMA'S that Ikeep going back to.Not familar with the Chipaway(hope that ain't how it cuts...lol)......whack<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Not familar with Chipaway Cutlery. I've used Buck, Gerber, Case and bought a Cold Steel last year.All seem to be good knives.My Buck #103 &quot;Skinner&quot; holds the edge the best of all of them.Ruger Redhawk

I'll tell you what, bronco, I'm going rabbit hunting today, and I'll take my chipaway as ungamely as it may be, to skin the rabbits with. Fat is fat, and rabbits have a lot of it, and as we all know, fat takes the edge off a blade like cutting stones. I'll get back to you tonight about how well the edge holds up. What blade style is the one you're buying?? Remember that no matter how well a blade keeps an edge, its shape determines its usefulness while skinning. I almost always use drop point blades to skin, however I'll never use a tanto to skin anything again, but I often use semiserrated clip point blades, in this case, form determines function, don't waste your money on over sized hunting knives, the longest blade you'll ever use should be about 3-4 inches.
