This tool is great for fleshing fox, coon, rat, mink, etc. Smaller 8" blade makes this tool easy to handle. The all aluminum construction 1 piece construction makes this tool durable to withstand years of use."No more broken handles" I used this knife after it was sent to me to try and I was amazed how well it worked on coon and smaller animals. By far the best tool I have ever used for coon. The 3 sides make work easy as you don't have to stop to keep removing fat and grease just roll the knife to another side and keep working. The blades have a medium sharpness which reduces cutting or tearing holes into the pelt. Will be a best seller once the word spread with trappers. A favorite in Canada for over 20 years and now being sold in the U.S. by Blue Ridge Outdoor Supplies.
