A trailing point blade is usually best for skinning. Basically, it's a blade with an oversized belly or when the spine curves up making the tip of the blade point higher than the handle or high enough to skin efficiently.

A few months back I ended up purchasing an Ontario SP-1 Combat Knife.  Made in the USA, and came with sheath, for ~$30.  Good construction.  However, I have not had any real time to test it out in the real world.  Are these types of knives good for skinning?  And by that, I mean, will they get the job done (as opposed to be the best knife for the job).

Now, why does the icon of St. Bartholomew show him holding a skinning knife?

Was he skinned alive?

According to various sources, St. Bartholomew was crucified, skinned, and then beheaded.

There is a skinning technique using a sharply pointed blade—sharpened edge up towards the skin, unsharpened edge down towards the "meat," regulate depth by carefully directing the point back and forth like a typewriter. The technique is not tenable with a clipped or drop point blade.

My husband bought me a Marbles knife from Smoky Mountain Knife works.  Very cool.
