If this was guitars i could have outshone you.....
I would be only too happy if you did in all respects but you are not going to achieve that by just watching videos.

This was exactly what i was trying to say, except perhaps i should have said " Shouldn't " instead of " can't ".

How on earth can i afford a goat? I could probably put up a goldfish ROTFL And Mack you say the wickedest things.... :lol: .Perhaps Moin can provide a goat...? ROTFL .

Further, nearly all the small knives used on game are fixed blades of good quality, which can be controlled nicely.

Is Fred using a Balisong?

Goats cost big money these days Skyman, I know having brought for Bakri Eid. As suggested by Mack, apprentice first with Suleman Usmanbhai Kababwala for 20 bucks a day, may be then I'll consider financing the goat for the experiment.

All for the sake of science Skyamn, all for science ROTFL

NO goat vendors around here...and besides, it is upto the disbelievers to prove their point.I will concede, in the right hands, a small folder can be used to cut meat off a goat.But i still doubt it being able to go through bone without losing the edge fast.

That is precisely why YOU need to supply the goat. :mrgreen:

It does not have to. Hint - Think outside the box.

You supply the goat. I will butcher it. You cook it. I'll eat it.
