Fleshing tool recommendation

[butcherboy]

I called it a rotary nozzle but it’s definitely a turbo nozzle. It works so well that I don’t understand why most taxidermists don’t use it. Once I saw how it works I quickly made up a plywood board and then set it up at a steep angle. I could lay half the hide over it or most of a cape with the head hanging off the end. This would give me a nice angle and hold the hide or cape in place. It’s amazing how fast it is and clean the hide is. Be sure and wear a rain suit though!

Interesting. Ever used this technique on a raccoon?

I had a Necker 600. For the money, I thought it was a good knife. I did later buy a Caribou, which I liked better. It was more flexible and stayed sharp longer.

It might be a little too much for a raccoon. It does work on a beaver hide though. I had a smaller pressure washer I would use to flesh turkeys with and a 3000 psi for big game hides and capes. Also used it to flesh beef and buffalo hides.
