What instrument (knife, scraper, etc.) do you use to flesh your mink?

I'm almost ashamed to tell. I have this old aluminum tablespoon I found in a box of junk. One time I picked it up and tried it for fleshing mink...liked it. :shock:

I baught one fleshing knife when I was 13 and have learned to do all my animals with that . I guess ya just get used to certain things .More presure for this animal and less for this one .

There is no right way but I like to use a dull 7" old buck knife. It gives me good leverage and I dont have to worry about losing fur.
