Thanks, good video. I'm a long time tanner and have a collection of scraping knives, though mostly home made. I was lucky enough to find a couple of the old school wide type traditional knives that I cherish. I'm actually working on a design now optimized for general tanning work. The wide knife from austria is made from a scythe blade. That is why the handles are really off center, because that is where to back rib of the blade already is. I've got one I made in the forge from an old scythe blade, but I folded the blade over and forged them into tangs that are more on the centerline of the blade. it works pretty well as I remember. Anyway, good video to have out there. I've been meaning to do a video on these as well.

Stu please pass along to new Trappers: If you've never had a fleshing knife, especially a razor sharp one you need to put a few things in your brain so you don't die: 1.) Never "cross the break" with your hands. Meaning, Don't wrap it in a "sheath" that requires you to put your hand around to unfurl it. Just don't do it. Make or buy an "ax-like sheath." 2.) Make a flat rack for it to sit on the ground with dowel rods that sort of hold it in place, or put it back in its container. Do not ever leave it out like you might another knife because you will be tricked. You have multiple things at play here different than your Bushcraft knife: 1.) It's curved so if you put it on a table, part may stick out and if you "brush by" with the back of your hand, you could cut off your hand. 2.) It's long, so see point #1 about not brushing against it. 3.) Often not only is only-one-side of the knife sharp, but only one side of THAT one-side is sharpened....but it's razor sharp. So eventually you're going to cut yourself if you do not follow this advice herein. I just think this needs to be brought to people's attention as being "regular outdoors-y careful" landed me in the emergency room and thank God it was (I think) only stitches. One wrong slip and you're dead.

I hate the square handles on the Post knife. They are very uncomfortable in my old hands. The Lee Steinmeyer knife is the perfect size and shape, and vey comfortable to use. The fact that it is beautifully hand made by a great gentleman, and fellow trapper, is just 'frosting on the cake'. I have the sharp on both side model, and rolled the edge on the 'pushing side' with a steel, just to 'tone it down a little'. Charlie

What’s the best way to go about dulling the edge? I just went from the cheap skinny knife to a 16” fleshing knife from Green English. Much sturdier knife, but it came with both edges sharp & with my being used to the cheap skinny knife with the duller edges, I butchered the first beaver pelt I did. I did decrease the angle of my beam so that I was pushing out more than down.
