This 1 looks like my 1
I believe if memory serves mme right that yours was a Hunter Skinner and this is a new design that was a collaboration with a customer from AU about 12 months ago. His had cross grained Red Gum over brass

Just the group pic for today as its been a long one getting all the sheaths sewn, hot waxed and the blades all sharpened so will get some individual pics and details later in the week. Couple of new handle materials in there

and a Bird and Trout with rough jigged dyed bone scales on the 4 1/4 in cryo treated NitroV SS blade
I was dissapointed in the scales as theyhad a nice royal blue on each end but thay was only a surface dye and was ground off with the shaping so I will have to except the other 9 scale sets I have will be the same. Not a bad look in itself , just not what I had expected

A little fruit knife for the kitchen with spilled milk acrylic on the 3 in cryo treated NitroV SS blade

This is another of the sheep shear blades with figured Eucalyptus handle and copper pins

And a roughy to finish with this piece of antler on the 5 in 1084 HC blade. Had the knife sitting for a while but was never happy with the bulk of the antler handle so gave it a severe re-shape and it feels much better in hand and it will serve for a hunter now. Will have to do some tidy up on it before the herritage day display.
