ZENG JIA DAOForged Wide Skinning Knife - Handmade Viking Boning Bushcraft Blade for Hunting and Kitchen - Full Tang with Wooden Handle - Gift for Chefs Hunters and Outdoors Enthusiasts

This blade stock is around 1/8 into thick and appears to be a high quality steel. Mine came extremely sharp out of the box. If I had to be critical of one thing it might be the patina in the blade since it has sort of a slight gloss and has a granular appearance. I’m going to use this knife in butchering our next full size hog next month. I am sure I will need longer blades as breaking knives but this will have its place in removing bacon from ribs.

I bought this knife for my annual deer/hog hunt in Texas. I usually use a havalon knife a it has been good. I saw this knife and had to have it. I read other reviews and was leary, I gutted and skinned two deer and a 200 lbs boar. it stayed sharp even cutting thru the boars hide. a few light touch ups with a steel and it was back to cutting. I am very impressed zand would recommend this to anyone.. size is good for close work. I even wedged it on the tailbone and a quick snack and I was thru. I have washed it and no rust no nothing. this thing is great. thinking I'll get a 2nd. now the sheath is just crap but i don't buy knives for the sheath. when I was processing the meat at home after the trip it was my goto knife for for the big cuts and then to a fillet knife for around the bones. one thing you'll notice is the tang was a hair larger than the handle and I thought it was going to be an issue cause I could feel the top edges of the tang, nope after I started cutting I didn't even notice.. cheap price not cheap blade..

This thing is razor sharp! It's a bit smaller than I expected, and the sheath definitely isn't made for it, but that's a pretty small factor. I haven't used it for anything yet, but I'm not worried at all about how it will perform

I have to defer to my daughter who uses this when skinning beavers. It's been working great for her.

I liked everything about it the sheath fit nicely the knife fits my hand perfectly performance it did the job. You might not want to hear this but I used it to slice freshly cut bacon from a pig

Used it to skin Deer. Works great and stays sharp. Bought 2 more as gifts for family.

Will be one of my knives for butchering.I recommend this 👌

Knife seems flimsy, but comes sharp and the sheath is not made for the knife and is cheap quality.
