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.

My friend does it all traditional and she uses one of the major leg bones (femur?) and cuts it at an angle and uses that.
I already forwarded the pressure washer video, might not be using bone anymore lol
