Not sure if I'd want to be skinning an animal with a metal handle in frigid temperatures, althougb its a nice piece nonetheless. Personal skinning favorites are Randall's 11 & 20. I also have a razor sharp Behring Made Hunter ready to go. _________________________ Warren

The Model 11 works nicely as does the clip blade on a Model 5.

I don't mind the mess on my hands but getting blood out from my nails, uhggg..

JerryG Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/04/11 Posts: 320 Loc: WI	My Ubejane is up there on the list for sure! Nice to be able to toss the knife in a tub of hot water to clean all the fat and blood of afterwards. Yes, the handle sucks during WI hunting seasons. Except, usually, spring turkey. I've wrapped mine with various materials with varying results. A liner glove inside a rubber glove works as well as anything. Keeping the knife under a jacket helps too. I have a pair of knapped, from Georgia and Texas flint, skinners made for my son and I that are at the top of my list, waiting to be put to use. _________________________ Jerry

Had to look that name up: The name Ubejane was derived from the Zulu language in South Africa means Rhinoceros. The Rhino is a large, powerful animal with a strong up tilting horn, this skinner has those attributes. That says it all! _________________________ David Loomis RKS# 724 RKCC# CM-061 Molon Labe
