Thread: Best hunting knife unders $100?

when I was a wee tacker....Dad and older Brother were doing possums pretty much full time when not at work.... at that stage Kinleith mill issued the IXL brand knives to guys in pulp mill......must have been tens of thousands of possums skinned with them...they issue mercators now LOL....
I skinned 300 with a knife on set of nail clippers...still have them here beside me.... soft steel and a steel will let you away with all sorts. a vegetable paring knife was weapon of choice in the tacking out shed....we were living in Torphin cresant when I was.....7-8 and Kinleith went on strike....8 weeks from memory, full on possuming then and a hell of a lot of folks were selling to Dad aswell,how he kept cash flowing I am buggered if I know but we kept afloat our two households plus a few others during that dark time.
middle Sister bought brand new honda 100cc bike with possum skin money from same time...she spent spare time in tacking shed.....
went past the old place the other month when up there....whole street has changed,the scout den is gone and supermarket has altered things forever....
EKA was another brand of pocket knife popular with possum guys.
