How is this knife for skinning game? Does it clean up fairly easily? I feel like blood could get stuck in the grooves in the handle...

I've used this knife on several animals now and it is my go to. We process our own cattle. On cows and young bulls , it can hold an edge throughout, for skinning, parting out and deboning. On an older bull I touch up the blade with either a fine diamond steel or the Fiskars axe sharpener as I go. Pigs are no problem at all. The point is great for making finger holes to pull the skin, IF you aren't keeping the hide. Easily spilts the hide from ankles down the leg. I also gut with it, running it between my two fingers, pulling up, so not to puncture the intestines. It does rust if you don't oil it after every use. I use a green brillo pad and soap to clean it off when I forget. Knife is strong, even if not a full tang. I baton hard wood, like mesquite, for kindling. I also ground the spine so I can strike sparks, works great. The sheath is exceptional IMHO. I have a Morakniv Kansbol, ALSO a very strong knife. I don't carry that one as much because I need two hands to pull it out of the sheath. Where as this Companion has a thumb break. Works great one handed. Rubber handle is also very grippy while bloody and wet. At this price, There is no reason not to own several of these knives. It rivals my $150-$200 knives. No brainer.

Is this knife roughly the same or maybe even better than the Bushcraft knife?

Both the Bushcraft Black and the Companion Heavy Duty have a 3.2mm thick carbon steel blade. The blade of the Black is slightly longer (4.3") than the HD (4.1") and it is also wider. The Black also has a DLC (Diamond Like Coating) to aid in the prevention of rust. The other apparent aesthetic differences are the handle grip and the sheath which will largely be a matter of personal preference.Performance-wise I would say they are very similar. They both seem to be good to great at most bushcrafting tasks though I would probably give a slight edge to the black for batoning with the slightly longer and wider blade. With either knife maybe limit the log diameter to 3-1/2" to 3-3/4" max. Both should hold an edge very well and sharpen fairly easily with the Scandi grind on both knives. Perhaps the most significant edge for the Black over the HD besides the coating (DLC) is the fact that it comes with the spine ground to a sharp 90 degrees allowing for sparking with a ferro rod. The HD can also made to spark as well with a minor modification of filing or grinding down the spine slightly.The biggest difference is the price. The Black will run you $50 - $55 on Amazon right now while the HD has been in the $17 - $19 range. You will have to decide whether the Black is worth nearly 2-1/2 to 3 times more than the HD.

mora heavy duty better then the basic Mora knife. thanks

I am not sure what you mean by the "better than basic Mora Knife. However, the Knife above is a very heavy duty knife. comes with a plastic sheith that locks the knife down well. The knife itself has a very thick spin....overall, I was very pleased with my purchase of it.
