Muntjac tunnelling knife
- Thread starter Donkey Basher
- Start date
I was beaten to it by @alexjoneill - that's a great wee knife for the small species but there have been a lot of good alternatives both of knives & techniques right through this thread
There's clearly more than one way to tunnel a muntjac
I prefer doing it like @grimstone suggested - it's cleaner & handier to do it at home if you can, you get all the nasties out with as little contamination as possible and you don't carry split hindquarters all the way home either
As for knives, the Danum Blade Muntjac Catcher has already been mentioned, I think by @Overlay , I use one of those now and they're great, maybe a bit small for Reds but handy for everything else.
Those Stuart Mitchell Portlands look the biz too
Another good SD thread folks, thanks

This Ultralight 110BT arrived from Stuart on Saturday… chosen as I felt it was the ideal profile for tunneling the smaller species (and the bigger ones) and looking forward to using it.

This is what I am using. I bought a leather sheath from The Bushcraft Store which fits it perfectly.

They keep very sharp as well
They do. I've been sharpening on a Smiths system which is similar to the Lansky. I've just bought a Peter Eaton strop to try and take it up a notch but I am still getting the hang of it.
Peter makes some very pretty looking knives, but I am going to stick with what I've got. If I lose it I won't cry.
Best knife i own for internal work on park red culls .

Completely agree, I've used it on all 6 UK deer species and wild boar and it has never disappointed!
I was searching for the mora rabbit knife and came across this knife. Caribou Vegetable/Rabbit Knife - Wide Rigid Blade - 10cm/4"{CampaignName}&utm_adgroup={AdGroupName}&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwna6_BhCbARIsALId2Z3dXQz-e8PAZh58h0cXdfbDXnakSW2olhMMcfcqkjXt2B5OUXa2G2oaAjpmEALw_wcB
Its for me the perfect knife and it's great at holding a edge. I must of done 30 plus deer with it lately and it still cuts perfectly well.
On muntjac I do the same as above one cut between the tail and anus then use the finger to go around and free it all up the cut the last bit.

Well, after shooting two Muntjac yesterday evening I decided I’d try the finger in the bum trick…
