I am thinking of fleshing beavers on my knee. What is everyone's thoughts on which is the best beaver pelt fleshing knife. Please add where it can be found. Don't need to be cheap just good. Also thoughts on sharpening steels.

Victorinox 5in skinner.
Google it.

The best sharpening steel is still a F. Dick which is the choice of butcher's everywhere that I've ever seen.
I agree with Boco on Victorinox check out their website some like the beef siding knife my favorite knife is the sheep skinning knife or the Caribou beaver knife as a close 2nd

Thank you both. I did look at victronix and I like a lot of what I saw. I also looked at the caribou and liked it. I guess it's like buckets, coolers, fishing poles, guns, and traps. A guy can never have enough quality knives. I'm glad for the input on the steel as that was my next question. Don't mean to be a pest but I was looking at the 5" victronix but I see they have a 6" which is preferred and easier to handle ?

5 inch is better for beaver.
6 inch is good to cleanskin bears.

x2 on the Vic.....buy you two of em and roll on.

Alright another question. which F. Dick steel?

I have a smooth F. Dick steel. Purchased from Horn on here. Purchased an additional F. Dick coarse steel from him at the NTA. Really liked the smooth steel last season.

General rule of thumb - The cheaper knives (the ones that dull very easily) need a coarser steel. The better quality knife needs a smoother steel used fairly often to keep it in good shape.

^^^^ what QBD said I prefer the smooth F. Dick steel with the orange handle I've got 3 of them so I won't be without they will save your good knife blade from sharpening stones or diamond steels .

As for length of knife that's a tough one I'd get a couple different ones because you will find out fairly quickly which one you will like . When it came to skinning beaver I learned to clean skin and preferred a flat surface to work off of and used a large stockman knife , I'd make a few passes with it until the knife started to drag usually around 5-6 long sweeping cuts then I'd touch it up with a steel .
I treated it like I was cutting the carcass off the hide and kept the hide pulled tight which helped a great deal.
You will figure out what works best for you also it takes some time .
