Title: Bare Bone Blades
Post by: tippit on May 07, 2013, 03:28:00 PM
I've been carrying my Bare Bone Hunting Blades in my fanny pack now for the past year.  I've really gotten to like the simplicity of just a blade with no handle.  They have field dressed deer, hogs, and turkey for me.  Plus they clean up with no fuss or worry.  Thought you might like to see a couple.

I never wanted to sell any of my blanks in the past because they really wouldn't be my knives if someone else put their handles on 'em.  What I decided to do was put my stamp in the middle of the handle so it would be covered up if one was to re-handle a Bare Bone Blade.  The top blade is 7 1/4" OAL and the bottom Hog Stripper is 6" AOL.  I'm hoping the utility blade turned up side down will work as a Hog Stripper too.  If so that will solve the problem of getting the concave blade edge of the hog stripper razor sharp.  Hopefully I'll be into hogs in the next couple of days...tippit

I like'em, there's beauty in function just as there is in form!

That utility blade has really got my curiosity up.  Got to try to get a hog this weekend to see if it will work!

Unless it is a chopper or a butcher knife at home...I have always liked minimum thickness for my carry knives too...
