Thread: SCALPEL FOR HUNTING ?

I saw in the 'how big is your knife' thread some have used/do use a scalpel bladed knife for a hunting knife .
I am curious as to how well they work for animal processing in the field . I would have thought , although obviously very sharp and replaceable blades (save sharpening) , that they would have been a bit flimsy or not robust enough for the job , rabbits/possum maybe but particularly a goat/deer sized animal .
Am I wrong ?
Please enlighten me as to just how useful a scalpel bladed knife can be for hunting .....

I have found this particular wee knife for sale and wondered whether it's worth giving it a go .... worse come to worse I can use it for opening boxes at work .
Flipper blade with open locking so safe enough to carry and I am a fan of carbon ...
