G'day everyone.
As part of a 6 month evaluation, I recently used a Bark River Liten Bror to fully process a goat for the table.
I also wanted to see how it would go when it was close to the end of a working edge. IMO, this is the best way to evaluate a particular knife edge profile .
BTW, I needed to whittle seasoned hardwood for a solid hour to get it to this stage. So what you'll see in the following videos is not a fresh edge.
Some advice to everyone before watching the videos at the attched links.
They show graphic footage of a goat being processed.
Another note before viewing the videos.
With a freshly killed animal, it's generally easier to punch the skin off. When the animal has had a chance to cool down a bit (common with snare & trap caught animals), they will generally require more blade work to seperate the skin. To this end, there is more blade work shown than required for this goat. Please bear in mind that the videos shown are intended to show case the ability of the Liten Bror to work as required, rather than serve as the single fastest way to process a goat.
First up is skinning the goat with the Liten Bror

Second is using the Liten Bror to dress the goat

Third is using the liten Bror to break up the carcass

Thanks for looking.
