I have always used a panel saw. A sharp one will rip down the spine in about a minute and stay nice and straight. I always saw from the front (abdominal cavity) so the bulk of the bone chips go out the back.

good idea, usually use hand saw.

For me, the Car padeum blade shape with a hollow grind would actually work the best even if not the prettiest

The modern reciprocating saw has many uses and after-market attachments - steady on the throttle boys https://trysexmachines.com/products/...ting-saw-dildo
I believe @veitnamcam has one

I have been thinking about this knife shape question quite a bit since the question was posted.
Now I really like the look of A, but the blade in B would be the fastest and cleanest to use for skinning especially if it had the edge shape of C.
The fastest knives I find are old Boners with the blade shortened and slightly straightened. They may not be the most pretty knives but they do skinning cuts with speed accuracy and minimal effort, where as a deep blade drags. A blade with a big rounded cutting edge is much more likely to give the user a bad cut too as it is hard to judge and a slip ends up with a downward cut as well as forwards.
The angle of the grip relative to the blade makes a big difference to control as well, so there really is a lot to getting a knife right

So the knife has been started, I went for "A" blade and "C" handle as that got requested quite a bit . Fits the hand well and feels nicely balanced in different grips.
There are a few knives ahead of it under way but will post the progress just for fun and to keep you guys informed.
At some stage I will make "B" as well just because there was some interest in the shape and it's not something I normally make.

It is a shape appealing to the eye Viper, but I don't think it will achieve what you are wanting to achieve.
For gutting a fish, the blade has too much curve at the point, which will make it difficult to enter the vent. With that shape blade it will be hard to nick the gill artery. It is too curved for filleting.
For quackers I think the blade is too wide to turn in the narrow space when breasting and the wrong shape for separating leg joints. I think the results on ducks will look like a Willy Duley back steaking job ( half the flesh left on the bones).
For me if the blade was reshaped to be straighter from point to base - a bit like a half worn Mercator it would be better for purpose.

That looks really good!

What did you cut the shape of the knife out with?

what the fucks up with your pinky did you just out down your tea

LOL. Yep that one is middle child's who was sitting on PS 4 a bit much. The bottom knife in pic got for the youngest.

A very flash set of knives ,obviously well looked after too.happy hunting.

Now here we have a classic NZHS case of a thread getting so far from the original topic is mind blogging. How did we get from this to this ?.
Firstly in @veitnamcam defense he has the larger version and it's apparently a different colour.
Next @moahunter your sexual taste has clearly during lockdown lead you down some dark and twisted paths, get some help or at least contact Dewalt and see if they do a yellow and black version.

Yes you are correct Viper, it is the lockdown has caused a generalised moral decay and decline into debauchery in my household and I claim that as my defence. For VC to have the Patent, he cannot claim a 'lockdown' defense. Thank you for the suggestion to contact Dewalt yellow and black would suit my bedroom nicely.
