Cool, there are so many great things i still dont know about I would really like to try how good they work. I see there are lot of different designs, that beretta seems to be a well thought out tool for hunting. I wonder if the hook shape that is on the lowest part of the hook has some use. Must see if they are still available to grab...........
"Reminds me of the MT (can't remember what kind) that has the hook for removing a birds entrails. Just insert the hook, Swirl it around, and pull." All I can say is -
Cut the bird belly open, open its beak, blow hard, done!

Actually I wasn't a vegetarian until about 10 minutes ago...
Huh...I was wondering why the hook stops at 135 degrees, instead of 90 degrees like the other backside tools. I guess it's so it can be used as a gut hook then.

I WAS trying to stay vegetarian until a minute ago Now my hunting spirit has returned and i want to shoot and gut something Seriously i cant remember the last time i enjoyed some partridges in pickle sauce, i used to eat them all the time mmmmm. And yes those hubertus seem really nice but look expensive. I wonder how much they are, since the web is in german im lost. Spotted the case pattern posted above at half price on ebay, maybe......
About 250 euros / $325.http://www.messershop.at/en/Jagdtaschenmesser+8+cm-+Waidklinge.htm

I guess it's so it can be used as a gut hook then. I think it's to prevent it from getting to much tension applied to it. If you're carrying a heavy load on it, if you swing it even slightly as you walk it could be always forcing the hook to pass the 90º. With a little slack, it hasn't that problem.(don't know if this is the idea, but it makes some sense to me...)

Also possible the hook "overtravel" is the consequence of other design choices and wasn't really a goal unto itself, but didn't need to be "corrected" since it didn't effect the functioning of the hook.I also believe the Vic hook itself is too thick and dull with too narrow an opening to make it an effective bird hook.
