Buck open season moose skinner in S35V cerikoted

Looks interesting. Hope this is part of a trend of s35v fixed blades from Buck.

I've had one on pre-order for a month or so. Anxious to get it and put it into my kitchen rotation.

These guys are moving through the shop right now. Hopeful to see some done by the beginning of March...
 
Looks like the 535 BuckLock model number has been recycled.

That's a great looking knife. A skinner with an 8" blade though??? What's next, an elephant caper with a 6" blade?

Comparison:
124 Frontiersman has a 6 1/4" blade
120 General has a 7 3/8" blade
535 Moose Skinner has an 8" blade
931 Chef's Knife has an 8" blade
108 Froe has a 9 1/2" blade

Don't get me wrong. I love it! But I think I would be carving a turkey or a ham before I would skin anything short of a dinosaur with it. :D

I know, right? Most of the guys around here skin their moose with 3"-5" blades. Looks like a weird skinning knife, but maybe a great camp knife?
 
My hunting knives are generally only used for gutting and they excel at that purpose I like stout fixed blades so splitting the sturnum and pelvis is a snap. I use a 8" Forshner breaking knife for skinning, quartering and deboning ect.. I think that Moose skinning knife looks great for the latter tasks and would be great in the kitchen as well like badhammer alluded to in his post. I really wish Buck would make their 8" chef knife in S30V or S35V and/or a 8" breaking knife would be the bomb.
 
A skinner it is not. But one may call it anything. To me it looks to be more fitting as a quartering knife. DM

I wondered about that David. Could it be a modern take on a vintage knife pattern? Googling "Moose Skinning Knife" finds lots of old large knives.
 
Yes, but those old patterns have belly. If you coupled this with a decent skinner you'd have a good 'moose twin set'. DM
 
I've seen in Buck's catalog, there is a Skinner that goes with this. It has the same handle but different blade shape. DM
 
You are supposed to skin with this?

Skinning is an option.
I think that most people will get this knife for the sole purpose of pulling a Crocodile Dundee! Now that's a knife! :D
