After last weekend's hunt, we quickly realized the knives we brought along were roughly equivalent to garbage. They did the job, sure; but we felt like it shouldn't have been that hard to cut up a rabbit. Also, it was apparent the night before the hunt, while sharpening the two knives, that the steel was very poor quality. Just wouldn't take an edge, and we're both fairly seasoned with sharpening: we butchered a pig a couple weeks ago, and the knives we used for that were exquisite - but too big for small game.
Anyway... I've been meaning to buy a new knife for quite a while. A skinning knife is now necessary, and despite the low price, I've heard too many good things about Moras to doubt any of it. The question is, which one?
Mora with stainless steel blade
Mora with carbon steel blade
Near as I can tell, those two knives are identical except for the blade. Which one will hold an edge better, and which will be easier to sharpen? Overall, which would make a better skinning knife?
Or am I better off going with something else - like this - altogether? ETA: This is a Buck Paklite Skinner.
Thanks a lot.
