Sking a hog

Case Trapper X2. I have seemed to misplace mine and looking for a replacement. Only a carbon blade this time. (not to thread jack, but how is this new chrome vandium(sp) that they're, Case, claiming to be cabon?)

nice to have a knife with a gut hook as well. I carry a gerber now (cant think of the model) with a gut hook and it holds a decent edge on a hog. But i just love that Case Trapper, could skin 2-3 deer before touching it.

Also have a Howa (i think its called), i think its Japan steel but it is heavy heavy and thick back bone for busting bone. Wasnt big on the Japan thing, but my grandpa gave it to me and he is big into knives and knows his stuff and said it was good steel and would last.
