I have a 4 inch blade on my knife bit its a bit short on the goats when I need to neck them,My sharpening skills are woefull,even after watching videos,buying a watersone I still cant get it sharp sharp,i try the sliceing paper test...........never works,lol.cleanspade are they ka bar oldtimers?
ratreeper Ive found when dealing with some of the billys the blade is just a tad short and trying to cut through the beard/long hair a stronger wider blade would help.I have a jes knife that is serving me well too,thinking of trying a longer blade as I think it would be of benefit..
