   I use a Mercator, it’s not a skinner or a boning knife. It’s small and light and sharp. At home is a different story, I have a dazzling array of knifes. When you’ve butchered 30 deer you’ll start to...

   That sort of blade shape with a bit of belly is one of my preferred field knife shapes. The knife you carry in the field is a jack of all trades, you need to skin, bone and gut the carcass. It's...

   Looks good for shape, very slightly too wide if being picky. Just make sure that the handle isn't slippery with blood and fat on it. Will do the job fine

   You will be fine. One advantage with that steel is that although it doesn't hold its edge for that long it is easy to sharpen. Plenty of deer are dealt to with Buck knives and their steel is no...

   I used to gut every deer, but the past couple of years have been good to me and I haven't bothered with the whole animal unless its close to the truck. Once the freezer is full, topping up with back...

   This is a bit rough, but it might assist someone who has never done it before. For anyone interested, the knife is a Bark River “Wolf River” model. New Project 8 - YouTube...

    I always turn the deer downhill if I can and stick it like you would a pig (in the thorax) and usually give it a couple of pushes down on the ribs with my boot to push the residual blood out....
