Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

What Grohmann you got ?

A little survey for all the hunters here. What is your favourite knife/knife team for skinning and processing deer/moose/elk? I am trying to figure out a good setup for my first mule deer hunt (hopefully) this fall. Maybe a dedicated skinner and a general hunting/outdoors knife for joint/limb removal. I am leaning towards a buck 119 (I have wanted one for years, just such a classic) paired with either a grohmann or something along the lines of a buck 103 or puma hunters pal. (even though I enjoy making knives, I still would buy the classics)

And as to try and stay somewhat on topic (does this thread have a topic?) Does 79 dl sound right for a pioneer farmsaw with a 24 inch bar? (3/8 pitch chain) I dont really trust my counting of identical segments of a loop... LOL

I really like my Outdoor Edge "wedge" for skinning

Small lite and holds a good edge

I like my Puma hunters pal

No sir!

I dont have a grohmann yet. It is on my list. Not sure which one though?
First I am getting some DMT diasharp bench stones. No point having good knives with out a good way to sharpen!

Knives like the grohmann are ones I would buy even if I could make something just as good. Just something about the genuine classics. Any recomendations on which model grohmann?

Hey Geoff.....sorry you're ill.......I think the other day you asked about a 920 Jred......and if it was a good saw??? Well.... of course it was.....but WAS is the operative in that sentence... and not to say one in decent shape won't cut a lot of wood.....it's just that all parts for those are NLA....so if you're running one....ebay is your best friend....these did not have as long a run as the earier Jonsereds and were at the very end of Jonsereds production.....as such not nearly as many spare NOS or used parts.......but good saws...87cc.. great blend of RPM and torque...but rather heavy...if there are a lot of them in your area...go for it.....the performance won't disappoint!!!

Damn those seconds are a real good deal. #3 with army issue sheath only $50. :msp_scared: I may have to order one this weekend. :msp_w00t:

I think a 1084 high carbon copy with ebony scales and a flat grind would be nice. I always find it much easier to copy a knife infront of me vs a picture.

Have you ever handled the dh russel folder? Seems real pricey for what is, but it sure looks cool.

Thanks robin. I think I should be better in a few days.

Im not sure I would say there is a lot of them, but I have seen 4 in my casual looking. If I ever see a real good deal, I might take it. I still need a user in that size range. Though the old 2100cd keeps tempting me.... :msp_wub: I have seen more 2100cd's for sale here than wildthings and mini macs combined.:msp_scared: (No, im really not joking)

Geoff,..you should contact Will Parris, he lives close to you and is an AS member that does a lot of work on saws.
