How well do they skin logs? That's all that matters, right? :wink:

Which Rocklers had the swap meet? Are they having any more? The $75 price tag is the only thing that's kept me from buying one so far.

It was San Diego. I am on the email list and didn't know about it until Meiko mentioned it.
I say call your local Rock and ask when the next one is for them. Or they seem to be pretty cheap on fleabay except you don't know how much it needs to be sharpened. When you can injure yourself at time of purchase you know the item is in good condition.

My first skinning with the (new to me) old/old stock was fine. The first logs I ever skinned were for the Left Coast 'Oki 'Oki weeks prior to. That let me know what I was in for, as far as carving goes. I did use someone's draw at the 'Oki 'Oki. Let me tell you, I could've cut myself in half and not known for a week.:o
Anyways, the big one cuts fine.
