    Whatever is to hand as long as it is sharp will do for rabbits, preferably something heavy ish to do legs / head / tail.

    I have to admit I have got a couple of one sided razor blades from the chemists for jobs like skining.
    CLAP clearly loudly, as an order, with pauses

    A cracking little knife Steve, the wood handled version is the one I went for although it will need a sand and oil to get rid of the hard lines and cheapy varnish. I also got the suede sheath and now wear as a neck knife, love it.

    agreed. You can get too kit heavy imo. I dont mean the weight, just the quantity.

    Good point but when would I get to order more kit? The wife only lets me out at weekends, and a maximum of twice during the week.
