Apple skinners for Eugene

These will probably be the last few knives I'll be making for the Oregon Show. These are actually neck knives but I thought they would be perfect for skinning an apple. The steel for these blades came from a very old two man cross cut saw that I found when I help a friend demo an old barn foundation. When they poured the concrete they threw in all there scrape steel and iron. Other than a little rust on the old saw blade it was in pretty good shape. The handles are wrapped in leather with the same pattern as the sheaths. The blade on these three are 2 1/2", overall there just under 6". Each one weighs around 3oz. The blades have been antiqued.

Really nice set Ray. I also enjoyed reading the history. Wish I had the chance to go to the Oregon show and meet you.
 
Ben, Looking forward to seeing you.

Eric, You'll need to give the Oregon Show a try someday. I think you'd find it worth the trip. By far the biggest show next to Blade. I always enjoy it even when the economy is bad and its always bad in Eugene.
