How do you like that wiebe elite ? I just ordered one to use for coon backs (gristle shaving )and beavers. Feels really sharp.

It comes really sharp and it works, but mine needed to be touched up a couple times last season. The Steinmeyer knife seems to be A LOT better, but I haven't used it yet. I'm sure I won't be disappointed though. When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.
