Another "high value" ($13), 1095 blade. Russell sheep skinner
http://www.katom.com/135-06371.htmlThis isn't a fancy knife, but it sure does work well. It is well made, with excellent steel (1095 cro-van steel, same as the Ka-Bar marine knife) which takes a keen edge and is easy to sharpen.
Don't overlook the Russell 5 1/4" bladed sheep skinner knife. Can't beat it for $12.27. Make your own home made sheath, and you have a knife that will work in the field as well as knives costing many times more.
I just might put some micarta scales on it for a simple and fun customization project.

D HumbargerNothing wrong with that blade at all.
Mild hijack here, but has anyone tried the Cold Steel "Canadian Belt Knife"?
Another under $20 knife, looks like it might be a nice pattern to keep around as an extra skinning knife when the one your using gets dull.

calgarychef1It's a nice pattern for small game, and does well in a pinch for larger game. My DhRussell has cleaned quite a few deer. I really prefer a finger guard when I'm gutting and this design seems to slip in my hand a bit.

333_OKHI always loved the Dexter knives, but where can you get the different blades with no handles?

It's junk, I gave about $8 for mine. I use it in the Kitchen, but it rust like crazy.
