Question! So this is my first fleshing knife I’ve got. Is it a good one for basic all around fleshing? Also it says it’s supposed to have a smooth or dull side. That’s bs. lol it has 2 razor sharp edges. Can a person take a file and round off one of the edges so I can have a pushing side? Because as of right now I cannot do any pushing, it just slices right through. And I am new to fleshing so I know holes are gonna happen and I’m going to ruin beautiful furs. But they are my practice and will just hang in my house. But I’m trying to minimize the holes. One other thing, should my blade be shave my arm hair sharp. Or does it need to be dulled down a little also? Thanks!

There’s a saying that a farmer is happy when he has a crop in the bank, a crop in the bin (storage), and a crop in the field. The same can be said for the fur trapper.
