Knecker made different grades of fleshing knives I still use a 400 model it’s nothing like the 600 type. If you do beaver/badgers a good knife will stand out. yea I have a 700 thats been a good knife, done a lot of beaver

I had a Necker which I liked until I stepped up to a Caribou. Holds an edge longer than a Necker and is more flexible.
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

Can you explain the differences between the 400 and 600? The 400 is very similar to the 700 model with the wider flatter curved sharp blade where the 600 is more of a basic bar design. During the boom years a lot of products were on the market back then to fill the demand at the time. The difference might be the 400 has wooden handles the 700 looks to have poly handles not sure about the earlier 700s.

I bought my knife from Lee Steinmyer a couple years ago at John Grahams Coyote Days convention. I got the parallel model and love it. I had been using a Necker 600 for at least a decade. I thought I liked the Necker but haven't used it since. Lee's knife makes fleshing easier on my old tired back.
