Ive skint many of them with one. I never had one with a lock blade though and I would recommend a lock blade knife for squirrels.

If it is a knife and it is sharp enough to cut are the only requirements.

the Old Timer in my britches that started off a certain size , but now the blade has cut off so many squrl legs and resharpened so much, u could use it as a toof pick..

TT,
As far as knives for skinning squirrels, any sharp pocket knife will do, but I also prefer a lock blade. I've bought a number of lock blade, small pocket knives from Smokey Mountain Knife Works w/ their store brand, "Rough Rider." This is one of my favorite as it has two locking blades.

OTOH, by favorite squirrel skinning knife is a fixed blade, not a folding blade. Guess I'm getting lazy, but fixed blades are easier to clean and dry. My #1 knife is from www.agrussell.com. I think they call it a "Camp Knife."


My #2 squirrel knife can be found all over the 'net by searching for "caping knives." Here's one example.


Good luck. Buying a new knife (and breaking it in) is one of life's joys.
