Zonker cutters and strips

Finally got all the stuff to put a Zonker cutter together today. Made it to better protect my fingers than the one on YouTube

and also made this small one to use on the pieces from the Hairline rabbit pieces packs, you can get a whole lot of strips from these. I pick up a few packs at Cabela’s every year when I go out for my grand daughters birthday.

Panels from a Mink Fur Coat my daughter brought me

Did regular and Cross-Cuts and had a gallon zip bag full of each. You don’t see much waste from underfur as I cleaned out the tank on the vacume cleaner and after cutting the strips used just the hose attachment and sucked the strips in then any loose stuff on the floor and bagged that in a zip bag to use for dubbing.

and because it was a waist length coat have plenty left to cut more.

I finally cut the sable into cross-cuts and they are huge!! I’m probably going to have to brush out a little of the underfur on the top part when I use them. The mink and sable strips are probably the most expensive Zonker strips I have!! LOL


Very nice.

That is one cool tool!

I’ll bet that sable will flat out move in the water. Great tool … have fun in the days ahead.

It’s amazing how quickly you can turn a pelt into zonkers when you have the right tool isn’t it. I save the scrap ends of the pelts to use the fur for tails on my leech patterns and other smaller flies so that nothing goes to waste.
