Its canvas, im not sure if theyre considered the same thing or not?

Its the big bend skinner with cryo from texas knifemaking, and used the special drill bit they sell for the corby. Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Hey guys, Just thought I'd post up my second knife. What do you think?

Pixie? First one that came to mind

Here's a better pic a little farther along.

I think you may have me confused with someone else, I am not one of our valued service members, but I'll pass your gratitude to my brother who is. Looking at the handle from the top, it does look a little chunky, and I initially planned on thinning them out but with the handle being short in...
