Has anyone here used this knife? How does it compare to more traditional skinners? Just looking at the picture, it looks more substantial (and general purpose?) which might make it a little awkward for actual skinning, I would think.
 
A friend, that hunts, was interested in this knife. Is it so rare that nobody has an opinion?
The A.G.Russel Randall knives special are similar, so someone must be right. [Of course, a small difference can make or break a knife design, but I doubt these companies would go to far wrong.]
 
Must be :) I haven't been able to find any info. anywhere (dejanews, etc.). However, now getting a good look at the profile (on the KnifeCenter site), I don't think it's the knife for me.
 
Frank & Donald,

I went in to a knife store a couple of years ago to get...I think a Benchmade AFCK or something (still a good knife)...and then I saw the Chris Reeve's collection beneath the glass counter.

I handled a Ubejane, a Mountaineer I, and a couple of other larger blades...I bought the Mountaineer I. The pictures of the Chris Reeves fixed blade knives don't do them justice.

As for the two minutes I handled the Ubejane - it looked and felt like a good skinner - if you're into big game; but, for the occasional killer rabbit I battle, the Mountaineer I chose has served me fine.

Surely somebody here owns one, or someone on the Chris Reeve's forum could give a personal testimony.

Later,
John
 
John,

You've apparently seen through my cleverly coded handle :)

I'm currently trying to decide between the Mountaineer and the Shadow, as a general-purpose camp/hunting knife. I take it you went through the same decision process and chose the Mountaineer? Unfortunately, I pretty much have to choose without being able to get my hands on them in advance.
