Here you go
Just type "fleshing knife" into your favorite search engine. I found this.

thanks alot. i need a couple because i recently got my trappers license and if i plan to sell the pelts then i would need a fleshing knife. i say a couple because i always lose knives and i figure the added cost of a couple knives would be incentive not to lose them.

It depends on what you want to flesh as to the type of knife you need. Other than coon and beaver there isn't much needed as far a a tool goes to flesh them.
On some critters, rat and mink for instance, all that is taken off is the fat. The red meat will dry and the buyers want it left on. Otter coon and beaver can be scraped with the fleshing tool that tater found. One of the handiest Knives in the fur shed for fleshing is a beaver knife. It has a rounded tip so there is no point to cut into the hide. It is invaluable on beaver and otter. You will also need a fleshing beam of some sort to place the hides on to flesh them. You will also need a skinning knife to do your skinning with.
