Thread: Anyone used a Puukko style knife for boning our meat?

The sharp tip and shape is also good for doing the bum hole but it will prick the guts when opening the paunch if you are not careful. The trick when gutting with a scandi or pointy knife is to use the knife cutting edge down when opening, rather than inside out (cutting edge up)...if you understand what I'm explaining. Or trying to...silly old bugger that I am.

So you have just shot an animal and skinned it and are ready to bone it out with your favourite boning knife. Do you reach for the Scandi or the Blackwater II (or something else)?
