I go by what my Dad told me years ago. Son If you keep both hands on the hammer you will never hit your thumb. I guess that would also work with a fleshing knife. LOL

Lee I don't know everything but Muskrat thinks I do. LOL

just ordered a post, can't wait to use it,i need to catch me some beaver.

A post Is a good knife.

I just got a post and really like it. I had a cheap knife and fleshing a beaver was like doing a shoulder and tricep workout. Fleshed a few beaver with the post and it is much easier and turned out better. I cut a few holes in the first couple, especially around the edges, but I suppose there is always a learning curve.


For me it was between a post or steinmeyer parallel.

Got my Parallel knife from Lee.
All I can say is WOW! The knife has more than met my expectations. Excellent craftsmanship and he is a pleasure to deal with.
Tried it out this afternoon and have to say it fits me and my style perfectly. Light, sharp and cosmetics are just great.

Thanks Lee!!
Highly recommend the knives from Lee Steinmeyer - you would not be disappointed.
