TOPS Backwoods Skinner [SKIN-01]

TOPS Backwoods Skinner [SKIN-01]

"Years ago, while I was a teenager, a friend of mine showed me an authentic Alaskan Ulu that he had received from a friend of his. I had never seen anything like it and immediately saw the benefits of skinning, food prep, and light bush crafting. I have been a big fan of the Ulu since and as a hunter, when I was designing the Backwoods Skinner I couldn't think of any blade geometry that fit my purpose for this knife like the Ulu. "I decided to use the same deep belly of the Ulu for skinning purposes but opted for a smaller blade and a rear oriented grip for getting into tighter areas and the ability to do finer skinning work. I went with the straight clip point so that it would allow for the index finger to run up the spine to the tip, allowing you to guide the Backwoods Skinner into tighter spots with greater control.
