[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1671102, member: 6291"] Also, I started off holding the bottom of the sack in my left hand and using a scalpel to cut above my thumb. It's not bad but made me nervous. After two or three calves you could tell the blade was dulling on the scalpel. I ended up using a big pair of needle nose pliers with the 90 deg bend in the end. It's perfect to reach and grab the bottom of the sack. Then you can run a knife right above it with out worrying about fingers. Also went to using one of those pocket knife deals with the razor blades. They last a lot better and the longer blade was quicker. [/QUOTE]
