They are great at skinning rabbits ,and Squirrels too.

Right on the money. I think the spey was originally a skinner, shortened for spaying. Some spey-only knives have a blade that swells out toward the tip.

Also, I had an old stockman that I filed the tip of the spey down to a pen blade.

I must agree with Jeff, if you are whittling a spoon the spey blade is the best blade for roughing out the concave part of the bowl.

Ha! I've noticed that you tend to prefer single-bladed knives. I guess there are no single-bladed barlows with a spey in your collection. [emoji4] I've heard that Glennbad does some awesome work. [emoji106]

You are correct! I almost bought a spey 15 TC barlow once, but I knew Id be tempted to grind it away to make a spear. However I do like how the spey looks while closed tho interestingly. Glennbad does splendid work! I have some 2 bladed knives with him at the moment having those pesky pen blades removed.

Work well for de-shelling a turtle, too.

A stockman fan, I use the spey blade mostly for opening envelopes and removing staples.

On a Stockman, I prefer having a Pen blade or converting the Spey. On GEC's Dixie you get a Drop-Point instead of a Spey and I think it's fantastic.

However, the Spey on the 38 Farmer's Jack is somehow different for me. Maybe it's because it's a single-spring 2 blade knife and is a short blade, but it's also really thin. Great garlic slicer Also, just the job for taking cuttings of plants in the garden, stick sharpening etc very practical outdoors.

The Spey on a Stockman makes a nice coned cutout in soft wood and drywall - perfect for setting screw heads. OH
