You may need your knife for skinning the cape of that trophy mount you have been hunting a lifetime for. Now that you have your prize mount readied for the taxidermist you will need to prepare the meat cutting it into steaks, cubes and de-boning the rest for ground meat or patties to cook. While you are using your hunting knife for all of these activities you may need to sharpen it from time to time so that you can complete the task preparing the meat and not be slowed down cause of a dull knife. You are not going to get very far if your knife is as dull as a butter knife are you.

Having the right gear for the hunt is like have the proper tool at your mechanic shop; he can get it done with a pair of pliers but if he uses the right wrench he can get it done a lot faster and not break something else in the process. Hunting is the same way your hunting knife is an important tool to close out your successful hunt.

Now that you are finally finished with your knife as soon as you can you will need to clean it. We already mentioned to keep your knife ready for use you would not want to use a knife that was not cleaned and was left with lingering germs and bacteria from an early hunt.
