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 And Mack you say the wickedest things.... .Perhaps Moin can provide a goat...? .
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.

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.Skyman wrote:NO goat vendors around here...and besides, it is upto the disbelievers to prove their point.
It does not have to. Hint - Think outside the box.But i still doubt it being able to go through bone without losing the edge fast.
