Answer 3

I just use a Buck knife..........

Answer 4

you dont need a guthook to skin rabbits and squirrels

Answer 5

A pocket knife works fine. If you feel you must have a gut hook, the remington and the gerber both work fine on deer. You could use them on the small game also, if you wish.

Answer 6

Honestly i like to just use a small pocket knife with a good blade for squirrels and rabbits. no need for a gut hook or a big fixed blade hunting knife. Get a good pocket knife, gerber would be my choice of the ones you listed.

Answer 7

More rabbits and squirrels have been skinned in this country over the years with simple pocket knives than any other type of knife. It is all my father and his brothers or his father used growing up in the mountains of NC. As a boy, it is all I used. As a note, it is easy to clean a rabbit, it is easier to skin a squirrel with 2 sets of hands. Tough little hide, dontcha' know.

A fixed blade with a handle that your hand won't slip on when it gets slick would be a good choice. Doesn't have to be a foot long bowie knife. Just sharp with a good point. 4 or 5" is plenty long enough.
