whats the best $30 or under deer skinner

looking for a good but inexpensive deer skinner

I'm thinking... take a look at the Cold Steel Canadian Belt knife. I don't own one, but it has a nice, sweeping belly. Just an idea.

Save up an extra 10 bucks and get the AG Russell Deer Hunter in AUS-8. :thumbup:

Or a Kershaw Bear Hunter.

I don't have much experience with skinning, but Marbles Plainsman and Kershaw Skyline fixed blade, how about it?

 

[Frisky]

One of the Marttiiini Condor series with ribber grip will do the job fine for well under $30. So will a Marttiini Timberjack. Also, just about any of the Moras. The Bucklite Max is another great one and you can get it with an orange grip.

I use a Mora classic 2. Its only 15 dollars

 

[Mannlicher]

buy a nice little paring knife at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. It will do a fine job. Cost ya about $5.00

I have skinned 1 deer a year since I was 12 (so 14 deer now, plus helped a few buddie with theirs) and upwards of 50 hogs (along with many many more rabbits and squirrls) yet I don't own a "skinner". I am watching this thread tho, do I need a dedicated "skinner" knife to process animals, no but if someone shows me a great $30 skinner I'd be up to try it out this year, deer season is almost here afterall and I haven't gotten a new piece of huntin equipment (other than clothing) for several years now.

Not that I don't still use a knife, obviously its required no matter the method, but I use a golf ball, a piece of rope and my truck to do most of the work actually skinning the deer and hogs I process.

Buck Paklite

Buck 110

Surprised it took 11 replies for someone to get to the Buck 110, which is the quintessential $30 deer skinning knife, although I have heard that they've been having QC issues lately. Maybe a lockback or trapper from Rough Rider?

Absolutely this. My belt knife for field dressing is a Kissing Crane hunter, but once we get back to camp, the Cold Steel Canadian comes out. For ten bucks, noting beats this thing.

What about something like this? http://kershawguy.com/products-page/kershaw-blems/1080-skinner-fixed-blade-wsheath-blem/

For field chores, the KaBar Dozier folding hunter ($20) would work well for a locking folder. It's big enough. I'd feel comfortable using it for field dressing chores for both small and larger game. After you get to camp or home.... I would use a larger fixed blade for processing. I have been touting the praises on this knife since I got it two weeks ago.

There aren't a lot of quality fixed blades out there for under $30 bucks but one option you may take a look at is the Buck paklite skinner. 420 HC steel with the good Buck heat treat and comes with a nylon sheath.
