What knife do you use to skin Elk or moose?

I’ve been using Havalon knifes for about 6 years and nothing beats them. I use a regular knife for cutting ball joints on the hips though

It is the best knife I have owned by far for comfort and keeping an edge. Skinning I will stand by replaceable blade knives but for everything else custom all the way

Replace "use" with "lose" and you have something more akin to my own experience. Ha!

Oh it didn't multiqoute because I didn't make it... oops mea culpa see Foxton Gundogs Custom Knife statement above for details...

Tried a lot and found what fits me best that is all I am passing on

Had some really nice knives in between, the more expensive the sooner it becomes "lost".

No idea how many deer, elk, moose, sheep, buffalo, beef, bears, and little critters it has gutted, skinned, boned out, butchered....

Learn how to sharpen it, and probably much more importantly, learn how to use it without dulling it.

Don't cut into bones, don't try to cut what can't be cut.

Amen.

If I figured I'd be passing it on*, I'd use nothing but custom, Sir! Even lost they're well worth it.

*intentionally given not lost/stolen lolz

Furthermore, should my current knives somehow grow legs and vamoose and I could foot the bill I'd order up at least a couple from Bark River! Or maybe make my own, otherwise. That'd be new to me.

Nice! I'm not the only one....
Also have a filet and boning knife that rides around in the kill kit.
