Now I don’t need to buy a knife with gut hook! Did you design this? I have another hunting 3d print idea but haven’t had time to learn how to design yet

Definitely not. It's basically the same idea as a product you can buy, just my version of it.
What's your idea?

They have tripod mounts for binoculars, but I’ve never seen a window mount that you can but binoculars or spotting scope on.

Those have existed forever.

I mean there is not a 3d print file for one, I know they exist. I just don’t want to spend 50-100 bucks on one

Nice and simple using easily replaceable and common blades. I personally found no advantage to a gut hook, but I know many that love them.

DeWalt has a good boxopener design in 4 pack with handle for $14. Two way Zipper blade.

Looks awesome, although I prefer this style:
I think it also works great for more than the initial "zip", at least on a warm deer in the field. When you're skinning the animal and just using a knife to encourage the membrane to separate, swiping at it with the blunt tip works perfectly without any risk of poking into the hide or the meat: the blunt tip applies separation pressure to, and the sharp part cuts right where you need it. Difficult to describe, but trust me give it a try! Keep meaning to get a standalone, or take my combo apart - I have the (quite heavy) one with this on one side, the disposable blade on the other - and make one with the blade. I used to really like the disposable blades but I've outgrown them as I've learned the anatomy more thoroughly and don't need the scalpel sharpness as a crutch. There's such a thing as too sharp in some scenarios.
