The "Hawg Skinner"

[Karl B. Andersen]

One I have dubbed The " Hawg Skinner" since she is going to accompany me to Texas on a wild hog hunt this Spring.
1095 San Mai blade and stabilized Sheoak "Rays" for the Take-down handle.
Stainless guard.
Note what I call 'fish scales' in the Sheoak. I called Jessica at Alpha Knife Supply, and she suggested that had that piece been cut long grain instead of end grain, it probably would have been qualified to be a burl.
Regardless, I thought it was stupendous.

That Sheoak "rays" is phenominal stuff
