    Here are my NZ Made Duel knives - a traditional skinner and a boning knife. Steel is nothing special and although they don't hold their edges like 3V, they do strop up easily. The boning kife is the best shape that I have ever used for boning out and is even a fair skinner when needed.

    I have always fancied a Griptillian.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Needs a good sharpener. I use a lansky. Lovely steel.

    The fallkniven has the best steel. SGPS. Handle is cheap zytel though.
    Needs a barkriver to make the list.

    My latest is a Bark River Phoenix 3 in good old 1095 steel. Its easy to keep a razor edge on it with a rabbiters' steel, but will hold its edge for at least one gut and cut up job without touching it.

    My sons Swibo can do 3 reds i.e. back steaks ,back legs off without a touch up.This sharpened off a Scarysharp from Hawera.
