[QUOTE="Dave, post: 953170, member: 498"] I use my Old Timer, "Improved Muskrat". It is semi sharp but not razor sharp. I like the thin blade for the method I use. It was probably 45 years ago that a vet taught me how to cut calves. I pull down on the bottom of the sack. I stick the knive through the sack about a third of the way up and make a verticle cut. I do this below each nut. Then I simply pull the nut straight down making sure I get all the cord. I don't cut the cord but pull it to force it to break off up in the calf. I only cut cord if it breaks off too low and is hanging out. Very very little bleeding with this method. [/QUOTE]
