Anyone out there ever made a fleshing knife? I'm in need of one and was curious if anyone made em or had one they'd be willing to part with. Thanks
Not answering your request but a simple discovery I found is that the lower jaw from a white tail makes a good fleshing tool. I cut the jaw a couple inches back or the front teeth and epoxy it onto a bone or wood handle. Those front teeth make a really good fleshing tool for smaller hides. Probably a larger deer such as an elk or moose would make a larger scraper but I have not tried that.

Thats a thought. Thanks Bobby I appreciate the advice.

this one works best on a round beam, dexter russell makes a beaver fleshing knife also a good buy,what type of hides are you fleshing?
Coon hides
