Thanks guys for the suggestions. I should of told you exactly what I've tried thou. Exacto ducted taped to pencil OK for gutting ect.. Razor blade on split stick bound three point with safty wire, thats what the two notches and hole are for right, OK reminds me of a flake knife but now I can snap the blade. Carpet knife blade modified with lashing cut outs, same size as a razor blade but now hafts alot better and strong enough to cut small game trap notches ect. I can live with that as a plan "C" but if their's anything better out there thats just a little better I'd love to here it. I'm a little long in the tooth and my back does'nt like carrying as much as some people do. Never needed more than two knives and I take alot less risks now.
