    Could you do it next week? cheers
    Probably, will really only take an hour or so to do, but like John Worthington says, if you are closer to him then the post will be easier that way, I'm in Auckland.

    Mate, I can always use sandpaper, I go through it like a duck through water, what sort of a skinning knife are you after, shape and size?
    I have a few that are part made, one fully finished and lots of spare steel in either 3 mm or 4 mm, if you have a specific shape in mind I can make it, or you can see what I have underway.

    You're bit now. There's no going back!

    Now that you have the standard Fox River, you need the set:
    Featherweight Fox River
    Fox River LT
    Fox River LT Elmax
    Fox River II
    Fox River II LT

    Around $1,500 should cover it.

    That's a nice knife.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    So the knife arrived early last week, and I managed to squeeze a short goat hunt in on the weekend, bagging a couple of nannies. I have to say that the little scandi is an excellent little boning knife, much more compact and way lighter than my Duel. Definitely a keeper. The blade length is 3.775" (96mm) which is the same as the Gunny Hunter, Classic Drop Point Hunter, or Loveless Drop Point hunter in BRK's range if you have one of those, or 1/2" shorter than the Fox River. I think for boning out an animal, the length was excellent. For post processing the meat ready for the curry, the blade could do with being 6" like the Duel, but hey, that just an excuse to keep the knife numbers up! It processed one goat into the bowl without issue.

    Oh, and the scandi/convex grind makes for a very fast slicer.

    For anyone interested in, or considering buying a Bark River, here is a table of some to the dimensional spec's on the hunting type designs that I have put together as part of my own deliberations regarding which ones to buy. Might be helpful (probably not).

    I'm ashamed to say that I have 13 of those on your list @hotbarrels, and another 17 BR that aren't on the list.

    Your a sick man Tahr. You need an intervention! Send all you BRK's over to me until the symptoms subside.
    Unfortunately for my bank account, I have 10 from the above list
