One thing I learnt about goat hunting is, take several knives 3-4. goat skin is thick 1/2 inch in some places, their coats are full of scree shale dust, peebles and rocks. I had two knives and they are both so beaten up, they are garbage. at the end of cleaning I was just hacking, either knife would cut. I'm not complaining though two knives in the garbage was worth it.
