It cuts copier paper along the entire length of the edge with no noticeable catching..... all in all I'm very happy with this blade...Great job Clint!

I really liked the idea of a Havalon because of the scalpel sharpness but held off because the blades are so flimsy. I saw Cabelas has a sale on for a new Jim Shockey edition that has a normal knife blade that folds on the other side. I’ve been really happy with the knife so far! I’ve skinned a handle full of pigs with it and it has worked great.

I got to try out my new Dozier Yukon Pro Skinner that I bought because of this thread and the knife buying frenzy that it caused.

It worked out real good. Is it worth the price, I don't know. I have skinned a lot of game with a lot less expensive knives and got the job done. This holds an edge better than the others no doubt. Hopefully I can give it another workout next month. The knife wasn't that sharp in my opinion when I got it but never touched it. I have sharpened it now.
posting up a picture of it is beyond me.

No removable blade jobbies.
I know that is not a high end knife by any stretch, but it is all I got to put toward one at this time.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Grohmann #1 or #4 depending on what other uses you may have in mind and how big your game. Canadian-made.

Elk11 gave my son a Grohmann Bird and Trout. We have used it to clean lots of geese and ducks this fall. What a useful knife. Easy to sharpen and takes a wicked sharp edge. Can’t really tell you how long it holds it, as I am sharpening stuff just for fun since I got on this knife kick. Super duper little knife.

After watching this post I just ordered a semi skinner from Clint. He has made me a filleting knife and a hunting knife a few years ago. Which are awesome.
This new one will be made with magnacut steel.
I am sure that I won't be disappointed.
Do you have a picture? I would be interested in seeing it.

Super duper nice. What type of scales are you having him put on your new knife?
Post up some pics of the others, as that’s what this thread has become about.
$200 went to bed long ago

A neighbor and his wife both filled thier cow elk tags last night. After skinning, quartering, and deboning both cows my knife is no longer able to shave. It's still sharp enough to skin but it wont shave..

Ok so a full follow up for anyone interested in my Clint Chisan magna cut edge retention.
After skinning and cutting head and tail off a mule deer I used it to gut one cow elk, and skin and quarter two cow elk. My knife dis all the joint separation on all 8 legs, cut the back straps off both cows and cut all eight quarters off. It was late and my knife did make contact on metal a couple of times ( both meat hooks and truck box rail) after finishing the second cow I could not shave hair off my arm but it still sliced meat and would cut hide... after cleaning yesterday i decided to see how bad the edge was. Under a bright light i couldnt see any real chips or flat spots but it wouldnt cut paper.. i used green compound on a leather strop and stropped the blade 6 times on each side that's all it took to get it to shaving sharp again.. not quite what I would call hair popping but certainly shaving. There are no chips or rolls and I decided to actually sharpen so 4 strokes on each side with DMT med and fine stones @17deg then another 20 passes on the strop to get rid of the wire and its hair popping again. For anyone wondering about how the edges of a well built custom knife can hold up... I'd say top notch..

I grabbed a Grohmann Short Skinner #103 today, only thing I want to change out is the sheath… being left handed it doesn’t work great for me.
Anyone know someone local to Edmonton who makes custom Kydex sheaths?

^ Phil McCracken of this forum. Don’t remember where he is from though.
Edit: there is his post above apparently and he is from RMH.

These are the knives I use,
Sharpfinger is still my favorite for gutting
A Gentry custom knife that I scout carry on my pack
Not sure what this one is . I traded for it a few years ago.
A North Arm that I picked up in BC when I won my first 3D Archery Nationals.
The Grohmann short skinner I just picked up today.

Not sure if the same because all their knives look different from yours and are pretty cheap, like $15-30 range or so, from what I can see.
CPM420V is I believe the same as CPM90V, but not 100% certain.
