    Needs a good sharpener. I use a lansky. Lovely steel.

    The fallkniven has the best steel. SGPS. Handle is cheap zytel though.
    Needs a barkriver to make the list.

    Here are my NZ Made Duel knives - a traditional skinner and a boning knife. Steel is nothing special and although they don't hold their edges like 3V, they do strop up easily. The boning kife is the best shape that I have ever used for boning out and is even a fair skinner when needed.

    My latest is a Bark River Phoenix 3 in good old 1095 steel. Its easy to keep a razor edge on it with a rabbiters' steel, but will hold its edge for at least one gut and cut up job without touching it.
