I copied this over from Strictly Trapping.

Well, seeing as fleshing knives are part of this conversation, I have the following question (which I know will cause multiple opinioned answers).

I will be attending the NTA convention in Spencer in July. Have also decided to start putting up my coyotes this year (haven't decided on doing coon).

There are many good fleshing knives on the market. Some slightly shorter blade, some plastic handle, some rubber. At least one blade curves away from the user (Caribou), most seem to curve toward the user.

Pros and cons of whatever anyone wants to comment about. I'm old, so I'd like to buy only one for the rest of my useful years. Thanks.

Let's just stick to the fleshing attributes. We have $30-40 coyotes here. At best.

Lee Steinmeyer Makes the very best fleshing knives. That is all you need to know.

I agree, Lee's knives are top notch, I have all three of his knives, the standard, parallel and the mini. I sold my post flesher after I got them.


Eh...wot?

I’ve got both of Lee’s larger knives. I also have a Post. They’re the standard by which all knives I’ve used should be measured.

You won’t need a sharp knife for doing coyotes.

Does anyone know if he will be at the NTA convention next month? I don't see him listed as a vendor.

Yessir, I will be there! Been busy, so I haven't got the spot rented yet. So much to do, so little time! Thanks for the shout out, fellas!
