@jurocks1J no 110, 220 conibears, and 1 or 1.5 coil springs work good

What kind of knife is that?

[trapperdreww]

@TheMMpestcontrol its a rocky mountain elk foundation nife! its 3 inch blade any knife that is sharp and has a 2 or 3 inch blad will work!

@WorldWideOutdoors Thanks for the advice i put the belly boards on my coons and other stuff i do with wooden stratchers! i dont have any dull rounded knifes but i might be able to purchase one somewhere! il try the leaving an inch of the tail still on! hopefully that will help stretching them!

I don't know if you use wooden forming boards for your other pelts. But your supposed to always put a belly board on them, then they slip off easily. And a tip from one trapper to another:

1) Flesh with a dull rounded knife, and divide the rat in to two parts (try it out works better)

2) leave an inch of the tail on for your wire stretcher hooks.
