Thread: Show me your knives

So every Christmas holiday I stop making knives for other people and make something that I want to make. Last year it was a Nakiri for my wife. This year I got to make a knife that had been kicking around in the back of my mind for 6 months plus.
I had a cheap commercial skinning knife that I gave to Padox and Joe90 to use and give me feedback on.
Plenty of deer and sheep later and feedback from other users and John Worthington I modified the design in both shape and size, everything was distilled down and mock ups made.
This was the end result, plenty of belly, smaller blade at 90mm. Safer handle design and more visually attractive in shape and curves. AEB=L stainless. Composite handles.

Daaaamn @viper... That looks good!

@kotuku , thanks for the comments but I don't think I am anywhere near that good mate. The knife turned out well and I got to make something that I have wanted to for a while.

squire Igive credit where credits due and in your cas e ,and not for the first time its overdue. There is a wicked simplicity about your knives which makes me wanna wrap me paw round one and do some surgery on the canada/feral gooses that fall prey to my charms periodically.

Sort of a cross between a drop-point and a Green River skinner, very nice and the best of both worlds. I might have to have a wee chat!

Small Skinner

A while back I made a small skinner, that would be very maneuverable when working on an animal.
Basically it´s a three finger knife and the idea was that you can keep it in your hands still whilst pushing with your fist between skin and body!
Steel is Boehler N690. Handles are striped ebony.
