Looks like a fast way to skin one. He's wasting a lot of meat only taking backstraps and hams though

Yeah he is, but like he said, you can cut those little 2 or 3" strips all the way down the entire hog and peel the skin off. I like it. Now I need to get some of those carpet blades, oh that and get a hog from somewhere.

I like it.

I tried the carpet blade on a deer about a month ago.
I either cut into the meat, or cut out of the hide.
I guess it takes a knack.

I've done the strips on a hog before. Never tried it on a deer.

The blade on that knife is a hook it's made for Vinyl

No thanks. I don't like to get a bunch of hair and mud on the meat.

I don’t think he wasted a lot of meat. Sure he missed the shoulders and tenderloins (he should have at least grabbed the TL).

But man, after doing all of my own processing for a while now, those **** shoulders just aren’t worth it. Once deboned, it’s only a handful of tough tendon meat. It’s chewy even in a burger. On top of that, getting a pig’s hide down to its head sucks! Especially if you have to skin multiples in one go at it.

I get some folks smoke the whole shoulder on a pig but I let the buzzards have them!

I use a hook blade. It works. Need to get some of the catfish skinners to try. Small pigs like he had go on the smoker whole.

I agree.
For the time it takes to skin a piglet, I'll skin the whole critter.
Oh...and it'll be washed down also.

I've been skinning hogs this way for over 40 years. You can skin them out by cutting the hide in the strips from head to rear foot, then circle the neck and peal each strip down all the way around a few inches until you're done. It doesn't get the meat dirty or hairy if you do it that way. Plus I try to wash them down with a hose before starting the process. The thing that makes this method work best is to hang the hog by the head, not the rear feet. The other benefit is that you can leave the fat on the meat instead of whittling it off with the hide. Here's a couple I've done lately...

In my opinion though it is NOT faster than just skinning one if it's a smaller hog (under 150 or so). I do it to preserve the meat and fat as much as possible.

Nice clean job! Looks like a bacon slab with legs

[AntlerCollector]

That's how I do it too Charlie
