You like naps anyway so don't complain! It's a double nap at my butcher speed.

Yep it is. Just stumbled upon it and couldn't resist. Agree it does look much nicer. One thing i have learnt from a few hunts is that the popper on the sheath comes undone too easily. Knife is snug so it won't fall out but is a pain in the arse. So HGD will be getting a call soon.
I personally never, ever butcher my eating animals on the hill. And I reckon I would fall asleep at the 10 min mark watching anyone bone one out.
You certainly cannot field dress an animal with the speed and efficiency that I am used too with a stubby blade like most knives on here have.
Then again I suppose not many are trying to make a buck off them anymore.

Anything sharp will do a good job if you know how to use it. Rather something small than a large long rambo blade. This knife is the one that lives in the pack and has had its share of use. Was used by a chopper guy who then gave it to me when he stopped. Its bloody great either on the hill or boning at the chiller. Attachment 29456
Cool
Same model Svord (370 drop point I think) I bought in 1990.
Replaced the handle with black maire and reshaped the blade a bit. Been a good solid knife.

Nowhere near as nice as some of the collections on here, but all functional. The victorinox ones on the right are recent additions.

I had a victorinox skinners years ago.
Broke it at the haft I think thats the term where the handle meets the blade.
Did it when sitting down on tractor seat and pinching it.
Also found could get really sharp but gapped when used agriculturally and hitting bone.
If anyone wants a value knife that will perform, its worth taking a look at Hess.
I’ve had a couple and I would rate them at least as good as Svord, but way better crafted. Probably work out cheaper too.

I have a muela and a svord I really like the muela can get it Razer Sharp with the lansky kit. But I'm still new to knives and not very good at keeping them sharp haha . Nice knives guys :) Attachment 29752
Couple of years on,here is my Zedteq
I am very happy with it especially the non slip handle and edge retention.
To me its a tool and not something to look at hence the staining from being left in sheath covered in blood.
