We use to sell the possums whole to, not worth skinning.
That's a fine looing Muskrat, Ricky.
I agree!
Cool, it is neat to hear a story about how these knives have been used. It still looks like it has a lot of years left on it.
Ricky,
nice collection, I can especially identify with the 787. I have an old one that I bought new in the 60's. It skinned many a coon, fox, and ringtail; quite afew bobcats and coyotes-but thecoyotes were too tight skinned for what little $ the fur would bring! Also possums were only worth 25cents and there was no shortage of coons, so we often took the cheap possums in on the cob and let the hide buyer skin 'em!
Thanks Tom, When I bought the 808 , I did not realize how small it actually was. I found it on Ebay.
thanks Ken
Ricky, Excellent Schrades you have there.
