prefer a sharp one.

Knives For Skinning

It's all really up to you and what you like to use. You can go through all the supply catalogs, and they all have decent knives. I found most of the knive sold through these catalogs can be purchased locally. And you want to look for a knife with good steel that will hold a good edge. I myself perfer my knive to have steel blade from Germany, And perferrably stamped Solingen Germany on the blade. I also have a few paring knives I bought at garage sales that do a great job.

Victorinox Paring knife

I use these on all my skinning and fleshing and turning. There is simply no other knife yet I have found that sharpens as easy on a paper wheel then these do. And they are razor sharp. Jack F

Rapella Fillet Knife gets my vote.

Rapella make an inexpensive 6" fillet that is EASY to sharpen with a little diamond steele. I like the little knife a lot though I use a scalpel and a variety of larger knives as well. The answer to the question does not have a simple answer. Enjoy, Aaron H.
