would this work for skinning small game

This knife is awesome. SUPER SHARP. The blade is carbon steel, not stainless. It would skin small game super easy.

Personally I think that it might be too long to be a skinning knife, but as long as you are careful not to poke through the skin too far, I don't see why not.

Yes, I have skinned many small animals with this knife, ranging from squirrels to deer. This is one of the sharpest knifes I have ever used.

No problem using this for skinning and I do on many occasions when I don't have my Case. My Case has 4 different blades and one is specific for skinning. My Buck is by far my favorite!

I would say yes. There are a few different magnifications that come with it. I use them for sculpting tiny facial features in polymer clay.

I would think if the fur isn't too thick or too matted, it should work. The cutting surface is not terribly wide (it is, after all, designed for a human face) but if you're not shaving the entire dog I think it should be fine. The motor power is definitely there. Good luck and thank you for rescuing!

For skinning I think it's just fine. You CAN use it for gutting, but I believe there is more maneuverability with a smaller blade.

For snakes, I do not think it will do much damage. I cannot puncture skin. I would suggest an steel pellet gun with small co2 cartridge.

I tried to use this product to trap the small lizards in Florida, but it did not work for me. Sorry. I do think it should work on a smaller animal like a maggot. Dr. Harold Snyder

I've left good indents into the foam. Its pretty thin and if you want it to last for a long time this might work. I would suggest glue two layers together and carve into both. I use it to make cosplay armor and you can easily use a ball-point pen to dig into the foam

If you de-bone it and have it in a game bag, probably but it would be tight. It is very comfortable to wear and the extra weight of the meat should not be a big deal.

Yes it would work well for that type of thing. I use it for small parts and it works well.

It's a great knife on big game, and although I've never used it on smaller game, I'm sure it would do well. Very sharp, holds its edge. I typically use a fillet style knife when working with small game.

Yes. I bought mine for a Bleach cosplay prop. Realize that what you see in the photo is the whole "blade", not a blade in a sheath, and is heavy duty. I masked off the handle, spray painted it the color I needed and then added the details to cusomize it for the character I was playing.

Yes, but it's thin so you might need more than one packet. I used it to drape over mannequin heads and it needed multiple layers. Good luck

Yes, I use it to make costume noses which are about 2-3 inches thick. Sometimes requires sanding.

It would depend upon the thickness. I do not have such a knife, but average sized hunting knives should work.

As others have stated, this knife will get the job done but it's not what the knife was designed for. It has a scandi grind on the edge which is quite wide. Makes the blade fantastic at carving and applications where you need to split material apart. Because of the grind, when skinning and processing game you run the risk of hitting bone and rolling the edge. It's not a deal breaker in my opinion but I would get something with a thinner grind if you're looking for a knife specifically for skinning.

It would be fine for small jobs. Tanks would be too small for extensive use. Made for portability. I have a larger setup for bigger fabrication needs.
