What fleshing knives would you recommend me to buy. There is no price limit. Thanks.

I have a Caribou that really works well. Before that I had a Necker 600, which was a good fleshing knife. Before that I had one of those cheapies, that worked about like you'd expect for the money you paid for it. IMO, Caribou is the best of the three, but the Necker is still a good knife too.

lee steinmeyer on here make a good knife also!

there is some good ones out there,i have a necker it is stiff and good for some things, I also have a caribou its more flexable and the one I use most and I like it. like I said there is others that are good. if you can have someone in your area show you and let you handle it would help you. good luck

Absolutely love the one I got from Lee Steinmeyer!

Is a caribu a 1 sided blade? Does it come razor sharp?

Sharp on one side, dull on the other. Sharp side really holds it's edge.

I have a Post and Necker 600. Have put hands on a Caribou at conventions they feel pretty nice.

Lee Steinmeyer! Great knife

Got a post and haven't used anything since.

Thanks for the feedback I think I will get the caribou.

Another vote for a Lee Steinmeyer knife! This one has custom cherry burl handles.

Maybe I will get the Lee Steinmeyer. Does the sharp side come sharp or do you have to sharpen it?

Another vote for the Steinmeyer knife. I have his parallel knife. The sharp side is extremely sharp. I’m going to order another one of his knives, the mini, this spring.

Steinmeyer. I am going to buy another just so I have a replacement if he ever quits making them!

I have a green english knife and really like it.

I've been using a sheffield for 40 years, but I think I'll buy one of Lees just to have it, they look almost identical.

I think you should get one of Lee's and a caribou. I have never used Lee's knife, but I have used a Sheffield, which is a similar design. The Sheffield was hard on my body, too big and heavy for all-day work, for me. I bought a Caribou several years ago and it is light, sharp and has a flexible blade. I found it much nicer for everyday work. My $.02. BTW, I have done commercial fur finishing, for what it's worth.

I bought a Zepf more than 20 years ago .It took a little while for me to learn how to use it .But now I can flesh a coon pretty quickly .I would not want to use anything else

Another vote for Lee Steinmeyer! I use his parallel knife, I also have a Post, but like Lee's knife much more!

Another vote for one of Lee's. The Post is also a good knife.

Any certain size for Coyotes, Cats and Grays ?

Lee Steinmeyer parallel hands down!

So go with the caribou?

I've been playing around fleshing beaver over my knee with a beaver peeler. This might be a Russel, not sure as there are no markings on it. It might go back to the 1860s, I don't know, but it's neat to use early tools.

I'm a Lee S. Guy also!

wiebe elite. have had no complaints at all. I bet the steinmeyer knives are great though, i have his death ray and its very well built.

Can’t beat Lee’s knives!

Can't beat Lee's knife!!

Wow, you guys are great! Thank you to all my past and future customers!

great product=great reviews sir.

Another vote for Lee. Great guy, great products! I have the parallel knife. I HAD a Wiebe Elite, it's a decent knife, I got rid of it after my first raccoon with the Steinmeyer. Lee's knife is 10× better than the Wiebe.

Love my Steinmeyer knife!

Hope he still has one by the time I see him! This thread is gna keep Lee busy

I like my steinmeyer knife. His death Ray is the best kill pole I have ever used.

For me it was a toss up between the Post and a Steinmeyer last year. I ended up going with the Post, mainly because I liked the shape of the handles better. I don't think a person could go wrong with either one. my 2cents

Any tips on sharpening Lee's or the "English" style knives? I've always just put a steel to mine but I havent been please with the results. Thanks.

The method in the video doesn't work for you?

PM Lee, he will b happy help

I'm still using a lawnmower blade. lol

Post

we just want to make you so busy that you won't even have time to make wine this year.
I vote for Lee knife too. I have a Caribou that Lee re worked for me as well, and it has been collecting dust for 5 years now.

Thanks for all the feedback.

What video?

I used a Scheffield knife for years. They are a great knife, But I bought one of Lee’s parallel knives last fall. Lee’s knife is fantastic.

Preciate it. I'll check it out

Same here The POST Fleshing Knife is top shelf and have not used anything since I got it.
