I use my case trapper to skin hogs and deer I can skin both animals with just that pocket knife that's quartering them up and every thing

I use my havalon it is always sharp and when ever it gets dull you replace the blade

Case Trapper X2.  I have seemed to misplace mine and looking for a replacement.  Only a carbon blade this time. (not to thread jack, but how is this new chrome vandium(sp) that they're, Case, claiming to be cabon?)

nice to have a knife with a gut hook as well.  I carry a gerber now (cant think of the model) with a gut hook and it holds a decent edge on a hog.  But i just love that Case Trapper, could skin 2-3 deer before touching it.

Also have a Howa (i think its called), i think its Japan steel but it is heavy heavy and thick back bone for busting bone.  Wasnt big on the Japan thing, but my grandpa gave it to me and he is big into knives and knows his stuff and said it was good steel and would last.

Is it that chrome vandium blade?  That's all i have found

schrade makes good skinning knifes

[H.Wilson]

Yes sir it is the chrome vandium when you get the knife stick the blades in a potato or an oranger and it will turn the blade black it takes the shine off and keeps it from rusting

 i use a knife i got in germany. i think its a puma blade. works fine and holds an edge even with the course hair on a hog. used an eye brand before too and it works as good as the puma. for gutting i use a ingress/regress strap cutter. makes light work and has a ceramic rod on it for touching up knives.

Thank you!! I love the chrome vanadium blade, I have even sharpened it so fine that I shaved my face once just to see if I could! The only thing I hate is the fact that they rust immediately out of the box! I'll try the orange trick now!

What is the strap cutter thing? Post a picture if you will.

 similar to a gut hook on the tips of knives. here is the link to 1 of my strap cutters. the other 1 is about 6" long, no finger hole but has finger notches. and i ment egress, not regress. they are issued to cut seat belt harnasses incase of a rapid egress ( rapid get the hell out) for either crashed acft or roll over for tcks

Awesome knife and hands down best value i've ever seen, i love my case trapper but it just doesn't compare.

That havalon is a cool knife, but I don't like the idea of throwing a dull blade away. Too much of life nowadays is disposable. But that's just my thoughts

[charles]

 hey t-bob, here is a newer style than what i was issued 7yrs ago. instead of the long line of nubs, it has the ceramic rod.

X2 I carry an eyebrand and love it, always holds a good edge for me and if it gets dull it is easy to knock an edge back on

My buddies knife, that way I dont roll the blade on mine, lol. Anything with a thin blade and sharp works well with me.

For those of you guys using that Havalon, what style??
