Actually there is no right or wrong equipment to use. It is the results you attain that matters. there are probably as many method of fleshing as there are taxidermists. If it works for you then it is a great idea.
Just make sure you're 'sheving' the hide...blade flat-like against the skin...not cutting into it. That's why fleshing knives are called Drawing or Shaving Knives...pushing the fat and tissue off the skin away from you.
the wire wheel part, if your just starting!
