Theoretically, which Spyderco knife would have been best had I loaned it to the Utah Highway Patrol officer to remove the rack from the elk I hit?

Wegner Big.

Chinook

Military

I had most of my Spydies with me but these would seem to be the best candidates for the job.

One other question, you hunters - exactly what does CAPEING mean?

John,

I don't think any of those knives would have a problem with that job, but didn't your car do that for you? You've got me on the caping thing. I'm fine with fishing and digging up vegetation for dinner, but the closest I'm likely to get to dressing a deer is dragging it behind the Jeep after I've hit it.

John,
I believe capeing is when they skin most of the deer (or elk!), but they stop just at the base of the neck. The reason for this is if you want to mount the deer head, the taxidermist has to skin the neck and head.

Caping is skinning an animal with the intentions of mounting, the "Cape" is the part of the hide that covers the est of the body below the neck. It is left attached to the neck or chest to allow the greatist flexibility in mounting options.

BTW My first post!

I would definetly suggest the chinook.I tested mine on two recently deceased Indiana whitetails and it performed wonderfully.Great angle for skinnig/field dressing.

Someday my friends,I'll own em all!!!
