Surely a carving knife???

No, definitely not a bowie, and I guess yes, some kind of carving knife---just not for use at table.

I think the correct name is a gralloch knife---but I'm running on memory and could be wrong.

Hello,
Gralloch is the correct term with regard to the dressing of deer.

Norman.

Thanks Norman.

That's a deer on the pommel cap, isn't it?

Hello A.G.,
I would say it's a deer, I've kept hounds, in fact I have a rather large Greyhound lying at my feet at the moment and she agrees, long neck short tail it's a deer, yummy.
Regards,
Norman.

Ah, well, since we have the agreement of our expert greyhound, I guess it truly is a knife for use on the deer.

For use on deer, certainly, whether out on the hill or out of the oven is another question altogether?
Regards,
Norman.
