Lee Steimeyer. Great knife I love it. Eric

So you have never held a fleshing knife In your hands right.
So If It were me I'd go with a cheaper knife and learn how to use It. Then once you get the feel for what your doing you can up grade to a different knife.
I started out with a Necker 600 and that was a long time ago ago and I'm still using It. I put up fur for NAFA for 12 years and It's all I ever used. All you have to do Is get proficient with what you have to work with.
It's very important to have a 2 sided knife One that's sharp and one that has a square edge for pushing.

Come on guys you can scrape a coon or a fox with a 2X4 and do a decent job.LOL

I have tried a few.

It can get expensive, so you don’t waste your time and money, just get a Post to start with.

Game over.

Good for collecting dust when you get your hands on a good knife. At least that is what my Necker is good for.......

Post and Lee Steinmeyer knives are much better and very little more money IMO. They really shine on coon, beaver and otter that were mentioned in the original post.
