It worked very well skinning and preparing whitetails. This knife is a solid, all-purpose, stout, hunting knife.
When I got back home, I cleaned it and put it away in my safe. But - the next time I unwrapped the knife to give it a coat of protectant - I noticed the Impala scale on the left side of the knife has separated slightly from the tang. Well we all know that Bark River talks a great guarantee so I decided to send the Gameskeeper back to see if their guarantee talk and walk match! My Gameskeeper was inside and it was better than new - really! Its scales were now attached with bright silver corby bolts and a new hollow lanyard rivet had been installed! They even gave it a spa treatment. So I made a new box and labels for it! To make this story shorter this knife is now better, more attractive, and sharper than when it was brand new - it has had a "spa treatment". This really is an impressive knife period!
