Title: Whale Skinner
Post by: Bobby Urban on June 22, 2012, 09:00:00 PM
It is not really large enough for whale skinning but for some reason when I look at it I think, Whale?  I call it the Nemo pattern.  

It started as my attempt to hammer out a Nesmuk but because I am not real good at all this it came out as a skinner.  The blade sat for a few months because I was not sure I liked it but now that I put scales on it the knife is growing on me.  What do ya think?
4.5" blade - 1.5" at it's deepest point and a 4" handle.
