Fleshing is too easy to spend time clean skinning. Beaver notwithstanding.

And even when you “ clean skin “ you still gotta touch up when boarded or hooped there’s no reason to clean skin unless you’re only doing one or two critters

Took me a couple seasons to figure it out but having a very, very sharp fleshing knife will make your whole life better! If you can buy a Post fleshing knife, it will hold an edge for almost all of season skinning lots of animals and it's worth every penny in my opinion. I put far more holes in my hides when I used a dull or sub-par one versus the Post knife. Once you get a feel for how easy it cuts through grissel and fat, you won't force the blade through as much and you'll get a nicer result. When you get to fleshing those giant, super grisselly otter and beaver, you'll appreciate the knife. That's my :twocents:

For coyotes I prefer a non sharp fleshing knife, I use the Green English. For coons, I'll just use the same knife since I don't put up many coons but a good sharp one is great too. Also a sharpened scraping tool for around the armpits and ears.
