Quick take
A 22.5-inch custom fleshing knife with a double-edged 12-inch blade: one edge sharp for slicing, one semi-sharp for pushing.
The Wiebe Elite from DakotaLine is a double-edged fleshing knife with a red handle and a 12-inch forged blade. One edge is sharpened for slicing through gristle, while the other is kept milder for pushing fat and muscle off a hide. It suits trappers and hunters who prepare their own pelts rather than anglers filleting fish.
