The ideal shaped blade is what we all strive for, but the reality is that we use whatever is to hand. This Shrade Old Timer Scrimshaw has been my daily companion for almost 40 years, the blade is completely wrong for dressing animals, and years of keeping it nice and sharp has taken some of the curvature out of the blade. Despite that, this knife has dressed more game than any other knife I have owned except my old Green River skinner that I had when I was pro shooting in the '60s. This old girl keeps a bloody good edge, and the back of the blade has popped literally hundreds of beer bottle tops!
