Totally agree!
For years I used a Rusel belt knife and a Green River style
( small butcher style) Victorianox almost exclusively , unless I was caping or skinning small stuff like squirrels or mink. Then it was a Gerrber Pixie.
I still belive the original Russel is one of the finest designs ever made for a field dressing knife.
However in the last 20 years or so I have been using a few trailing blades , a LeClair and the Marttinii among them, and am getting used to using them, although for general skinning I still really prefer a drop point style.
A friend who skinned with me when we worked for a taxidermist however , loved his LB7 Schrade clip point for general use !
For sonr field dressing however I still use my Puma.
