Title: Pair of Skinners
Post by: Steve Nuckels on November 20, 2011, 08:07:00 AM
A pair of small skinners for a father and son. Both stock removal from an old saw mill blade full tang clay coated for the quench showed a nice Hamon.  Fancy file work. Osage and Zebrawood. I made the sheaths.

Dana, the clip is not sharpened.  

Thanks for the positive comments folks.

The sheath tooling was done with the basic tools packaged by Tandy Leather and available at most hobby shops.  Oh, and one modified 6 penny nail!

Steve,

These are great. I like the osage best. They have a very nice flow to them, and the filework is great also.
