  This is a pretty nice knife with a nice leather sheath. It came pretty sharp but after running it through my work sharp sharpener, now it’s sticky sharp lol. Very comfortable handle and a solid feeling full tang toughness. Can’t wait to put this knife through a good weekend test with cutting steaks, veggies, cheese, salami some lite whittling. Going to use and abuse it for couple weeks then see how the sharpening goes from a very dull blade.

  I bought this same knife in 1979 before I went to Alaska for 15 years. I ran a 20 mile tape line with a 16 man dog team there and killed 44 black bears. Where I lived in Seward Alaska we were allowed there bear a year. They were everywhere and if you would just go for a walk in the woods you would have to be on the watch for them all the time or they would kill you and eat you. I used that knife everyday processing salman skinning Beaver and what ever I needed it for. I came back here to the lower 48 and someone stole it from me I was pissed. Being a MMA fighter it took two week before he got out of the hospital he got everything he had coming he also stole all my traps some I got from my grandpa .I finally found the same knife on Amazon and bought another one. It was the best knife I have ever had.

  Well it is not a Buck knife but it does not have the Buck price . The strap that fits around the handle just kind of floats there ( NOT THE BEST ) The knife is nice especially for the price and it came fairly sharp .

  This is 100% a ★★★★★ in both quality and price.

  $30 and you get a very nice leather sheath plus a razor sharp blade right out if the box, cannot complain about that at all. Very satisfied with this purchase. It being 440 steel I will only be using this blade to process game and fish. It has a nice weight and the balance is at the handle, where your index finger would sit. Balance and weight are spot on for a skinner knife. The blade shape is basically a longer stretched put version of the sharpfinger but with a more ergonomic handle. It has a thick spine that tapers to the tip, at the tip there is a nice bevel, making the tip a needle point. Im pretty sure the handle scales are Delrin. This looks to be full tang but I saw that the woodsman was a fake full tang, but from the look of this construction, there isn't a way to hide that under a hand guard which is mainly the reason I purchased this over the woodsman. Authentically this knife sits between a gentleman and an outdoorsman carry knife. It wouldn't be out of place with a denim shirt and slacks, or tee shirt and cargos.I'm beyond pleased with this purchase and highly recommend this large skinner to anyone that doesn't want to take out a $400 safe trophy haha 😆 . Honestly the sheath alone is worth the $30. I've gotten a lot less for a lot more money before so yeah.

  Love this Schrade blade design. I have a smaller, more medium-sized one and another just a little smaller still. But this larger one is very versatile, like I said, i love the design. It's used on camp-outs for cutting meat for grilling, with its pseudo-cleaver shape and very sharp edge, or as a utility knife for cutting up veggies, cooked meats, etc. As you might expect with the price, it will lose its edge sooner than your US-made Case or Buck, but it's nice steel and sharpens easily. I think the trick to keeping the brand-new sharp is to sharpen/hone it often and regularly. I do that after almost every trip. I suppose it'll wear a little faster but it's easy to keep it brand-new sharp all the time that way. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the handle and its construction, the size, feel and balance are great, and the blade is strong and stiff, even if a little thinner than you'd like, The sheath is well constructed and sized right but I can't speak for it's durability if you carry it daily. Mine stays in the camp mess box - makes an excellent block knife!

  I have owned several of the smaller "sharpfinger" skinning knives over the years and always found them to be good quality, functional, and a real bargain. After ordering and receiving the larger "deer-slayer" version I was very pleasantly surprised.It arrived with arm shaving sharpness and a nice fit and finish. The sheath is of surprisingly good quality and construction. Considering the price point and quality, for a great design, balance, and functionality, I can't see why anyone could ask for more at this price. I have many much more expensive fixed blade "skinners" but I doubt you can find a better tool for the price.

  Love this knife ....My cousin owned one of these knives many years ago and I always wanted one.. I've always owned a smaller version they called a Old Timer Lady Finger and have always Loved it....the Deer Slayer is a larger version of that knife....although the style has changed a little bit I like the old Designe Better....it had a better shape !

  This is another Schrade classic that's been around for a long time. Though these are no longer made in the US (and no longer made with Carbon steel) they are still decently made and a good buy for the price. The sweeping blade edge and point make these excellent for dressing, skinning and quartering large game. My uncle had an original that he carried with him all the time while hunting. It was his favorite game knife.The blade is nice and thick, just right for this type of knife. With a finger notch and thumb jimping to ensure you can control this blade pretty well when performing such tasks. The Delrin handle material is the same type Schrade has been using for years and should last a lifetime. I have 35+ year old Schrades with this same handle material and they haven't shown any signs of breaking or chipping (though some have worn down some). The knife is decently balanced for this type of knife and feels good in the hand.Now for the blade steel. Taylor brands, as well as other knife reviewers, like to list the steel as the equivalent of 440C. However this is incorrect. Taylor Brands site lists the blade material as 7Cr17. If you go a site like A.G. Russell Knives (they have a comprehensive list of the various steels used in knife making), you will see that 7Cr17 is actually almost identical in composition as 440A. 440A has about half the carbon content as 440C. They would need to use 9Cr18 to be closer to 440C. So this to me is a little misleading.However, 440A is still not a bad steel to use in such a knife and I find it takes an edge fairly easy as well as holds the edge fairly well. It's not the better 440C, but for the price of this knife, the steel is decent. The sheath is likewise, fairly decent, but again, for the price of this knife it's expected. Overall this is a decent game knife for this price. If you are looking for a decent knife of this type that you don't want to worry about breaking or losing out in the field, for this price, this is a knife for you.
