Two Small Skinners - finished pic

Thanks, brother! I’m finishing up the sheaths now... should have a few pics shortly. I forgot to put my mark on them so that should be interesting lol.
 
Those knives are something those boys will never forget. Well done, Kevin. Von's point about the front of the handles is something that I will take to heart on my own hunting knives going forward.
 
Here ya go. These are done. Certainly not my best work, but not my worst either lol. Let me know what y’all think.32A324CA-03B4-48AF-AE64-01178193C373.jpeg

Thanks guys! Yes the point made by Gruff is spot on.,, I hold a knife in the way he describes very often. A nicely contoured handle like the ones you do serve the same purpose I’ve found.

Contouring the front bolster also helps on insertion into the sheath.
If you see a sheath with gouged area , a lot of the time that front edge of the bolster is not broke to help it.

This is also an extremely good point! Thank you for the insight!

Hey where do you suggest starting the inward slope toward the spine. Is there a formula?

If you mean for the front of the Handle then on a full length handle I start easing the front about a inch to inac and a quarter back. I generally make my handles a long oval with a slight taper to the front and rear except when I do a splayed rear like on a bowie style.
