Great handle and hook shaped blade
Bought this after having to field dress a deer with a small edc semi sharp knife. This will make it so much easier. The handle is great because things get slick when covered in fluids. Its a solid build and sharp out of the package.It comes with a sheath that'll keep you from accidental cuts which is nice since it has a unique shape. The sheath has a nylon loop so that it can be attached to a belt or perhaps a bag with a strap. People skin and field dress with all sorts of methods but this will help make it easier regardless of method. The curve of the blade is perfect for skinning and also for jabbing the blade in to slide a hard to reach area.

worth the addition to my kitchen.
Fantastic tool for meat and vegetable prep where a knife can be harder to use, especially on chicken skin.

Use case
Awesome skinning and fleshing knife. My only complaint is you have to change the blades frequently because it doesn’t hold its sharpness

Portable and light but slow.
This saw is small and light enough to be tucked away in a pack, but will not replace a good hack saw at the cabin. The hook-design at the end of the blade does help keep the saw on the bone though. It's a good design and very light. The grip is very comfortable and the included case is a good fit.

Best gut hook I have
Works great just gotta remember to swap blades after so much use and that it’s not meant to cut through the rib cartilage, just wish that they would make a metal frame version to replace this composite material

Buy them!
Love these things. I have 2 sets of them that I have used for a few years for cleaning upland birds. Highly recommend.

Simple, effective.
I used this to process a few pheasants this last fall. The size and weight along with a simple but well-fitting sheath make it easy to throw in a bag or vest pocket and forget it’s there, but without stabbing or cutting yourself. It easily went through the wings of even the biggest roosters that we shot, and it comes apart to clean easily enough.Having only used it for one season, I can’t really comment on the edge retention, but worst case it looks like it can sharpen up easily enough.If I was processing large quantities of large game, this may not be my first choice, but for an easily carrying option in the field, it does its job perfectly.
