My wife was kind enough to get me a nice two knife set from knives of Alaska. I have the Cub and Muskrat and must say they are great knives. Extremely well made and very functional. The muskrat is a great skinning knife and makes quick work when skinning beaver. The cub is all I use now for filed dressing and opeing up pelts for skinning. The knives came with a nice double leather sheath and is now part of my hunting and trapping kit.

I also own this set, but I carry the "Muskrat" in a neck sheath whenever I head out to hunt. The "Muskrat" is the best all-around skinning knife I've ever owned. The "Cub " is particularly good for the fine work of turning the ears, etc. Both knives are well made and hold a hair splitting edge.

I have owned the Brown Bear Combination Set I think since Dec 2000, which includes the heavy-duty Brown Bear Skinner/Cleaver with the Cub Bear Caping Knife and a high quality sharpening steel in the same sheath. I have used them in the lower 48, Canada and even Alaska. They worked great! Only con, is that they are big and heavy.

I have the Brown Bear set and LOVE it! I even use it to butcher my chickens each year!
