Actually knife placement is key on the type you need.  Ive noticed most guys I hunt with stick the underarm which is great and a lot of times I do it to but my good old pawpaw tuaght me to start at the front of the breast bone and slice deep across the throat. This leaves the heart beating to aid in proper bleeding. If I sluaghter at home with grandad he makes me hang them by the back legs before sticking with pan for blood collection (for suasage) gross I know but that's the old German way.also I don't know what model # but I use a 6 1/4 inch CASE knife, shaving sharp!
