game cleaning with a mora

Oh yea!!! Cut bait, cleaned fish and birds, shaved fat wood, scraped a spark rod, split small sticks. All this with a clipper. Sorry 510 fans, but the clipper is a very good knife. Wish they made a full:thumbup: tang model.

yeah....I have a stainless clipper I really like the way it feels in my hand, I the mirror polished blade annoys me from an aesthetic perspective, I was wondering how it would function as a small game and fish knife...as I'll be taking it for an extended stay the bush this spring where it will serve as a camp and fishing knife...unless I'm lucky enough to bag me a spring turkey this year. Thanks

Eric Am I too old to join your troop it looks like fun :D

I have used phukos on fish and poultry, both fresh catch and store bought and have had great results.
 
Hey Guys...

Harold...

Basically chopped the legs off, and stewed it up..

Turned out pretty tasty,, kids ate everything...
It actually was only a snack,, tried to zap a few more Rats, but only ended up with one...

Rescue..

Never to old to join a Scout troop...Always room to teach some kids some skills..Check out your local troop and see if you can come in as a guest speaker...Teach those kids some survival skills..

I took a couple years off and now I'm back at it.. :)

You bet. Cleaned more Brook, and Rainbow trout than I can count. Cleaned Quail, Pheasant, one Turkey, and did some caping work on my Brother deer. Isn't my go to skinner by a long shot, but works well none the less.

It's as much about your skill, or familiarity with the knife as the knife itself.

I haven't used my clipper on anything that fresh yet, but it's the champ in our kitchen.

You bet, sure handy there. No meat critters but I have gutted and removed the hide from many a vegetable.:D I was using a Buck 119/SAK and even a Becker Brute on game birds last fall. Whatever was at hand at the time. Believe me, the smaller the blade, the easier it was. Except for the wings as the Brute loped them off with virtualy just the weight of the blade coming down. I can see a little Mora blade as being excellent in the bird, fish role, as long as you aren't filleting, which I tend to do on site.
 
We killed, and cleaned 90 chickens with a pair of Frosts army models last fall.
Never had to sharpen them and my buddy was so impressed he told me to get him a couple next time I ordered knives.

I've used them in the kitchen since then to further cut up said chickens and they have worked great.
