Title: Gent's Skinner
Post by: LONGBOWKID on May 10, 2010, 08:10:00 PM
Here's one I just finished up. 1/8" flat ground blade of L6, with moose palm scales and brass bolsters with a 1/8" brass pin holding them on. 6 1/2" overall. Had a good time with this one.

Enjoy.

Kid, that's my all time favorite of yours so far!  I like every element of that knife, the riccasso and no plunge lines make it very interesting.  

Also the black liner between the scales add a nice touch!

Thanks Yall.

Bobby- Im using a cheap 6x48 belt grinder. Id LOVE to get my hands on a KMG though. So much more could be done, but I just dont have the cash for one right now, but one is in the near future!
