Dubie,

This not a criticism, I'm just wondering why you said that? I feel that the Model 11 is one of the most unique if not best skinning blades ever made. When you pick one up it becomes obvious. I had a dealer at the ECCKS tell me the same thing 2 weeks ago. Everyone is entitled to their own choices. That leaves more of those "ugly" knives for me!

Best,
Warren

PS: I may have taken your comments out of context. Like I said no criticism.
