I thought this made so much sense (although I haven't used the knives yet) and wanted to share.
1.) Get re-furbed knives, Quantity 4, price $13.95. It's really neat idea I thought to get cheap knives for sknning. I got the idea from a Coon Creek Stu video. They sell them at trapping supply websites.
2.) Make a birch bark sheath. Why? The knives just come in cardboard. And, you want a sheath. And, you don't need an expensive leather sheath if they're sitting in your workshop. So enter.......
The Birch Bark Knife Sheath for Cheap Skinning Knives
Note: I made this Very quickly. But you can see the potential.
