Best skinning knife?

[rzwieg]

As knife habits and knife knowledge evolved over the years, many new owners came to view such staining as a defect or an indicator of poor quality cutlery steel. And with the combination of Schrade's own liberal warranty policies, and those of two of it's major retailers, Sears and Walmart, returns were killing their profits. So they were forced to convert many traditionally 1095 blades, fixed and folding, to stainless.

I see. So that's why they went down hill and ended up with Taylor. What a shame.

It was a perfect storm of reasons. Disinterested owner (Widow of Baer) who hired a turn-around specialist who hired consultants who didn't know diddly about knives or the knife industry. Increasing overhead, more product returns, the 9-1-1 event, etc. No one reason. Well, I can point to one. The empire was built by the Baer brothers. When they died, they did not leave picked, trained heirs or sucessors to run their empire. And Camillus went down the tubes shortly thereafter for much the same reasons.

I am really liking this one lately. Fits in my backpocket as an added bonus.

I see a lot of utility in that design. What is it? I may have to have one.
