Very nice clean lines, the ripper looks a lot like a scalper. Great work.

Pretty sweet!

I should also say that the smaller knife looks like a winner. I love that blade shape and grind.
I thought they looked like a good scalper as well Charles.

What makes a ripper a ripper? Is it for deboning?

Yep. They use them to break down deer at a processor and use the little caper when skinning out heads for mounting. I just started calling it a ripper blade...no idea why.
