Here is another pic of the knife before i put them together in ps.

Just finished up my skinner/caper. A small but very useful knife. I really think this little baby can stand up to the test of a good days work out in the field. Here are the dimensions. OAL=7 ¾” BLADE LENGTH=3 ¼” BLADE WIDTH= 1 1/8” BLADE THICKNESS= 5/32” A hollow ground drop point...

Steven, I am about 45 miles west of Corpus Christi in a town called Alice

A drop point hunter/skinner made from A2 . Ventured into using A2 to see how the wicked edge would hold up.Dimensions are OAL=8 1/8”, Blade Length=3 ¾”, Width= 1 5/32” and Thickness= 5/32”. Handle material is stabilized mesquite burl with vine file work on the spine just for kicks and a custom...

Very nice work.

That's exactly what I meant. My very first knife I made went thru the sharpening process before the sheath was made. The rest of the story as I'm sure you've guessed by now resulted in a few lacerations to my hand along with some bruised pride and a lesson well learned.

Great work Travis and a very nice set of hardware there as always. Robert

Just finished up a small version of my Hawg Dawg Skinner made from Alabama Damascus Steel with a deep etch. The dimensions are OAL = 7 1/8", Blade= 3 1/16", Width= 1", Thickness= 5/32" Handle material is from KUDU horn with green vulcanized liners and nickle silver pins and tubing. The...

My take on using O-1 is to try and not take the blade down any further than 600 grit. Mostly i take the blades down to 400 grit sanding length wise to form a nice even semi satin finish and then spray it down with Strike Hold. I agree with everyone's opinion on the more you use it the more...

Rex, The conchos that I use for the knife handles come from a vendor in Fort Worth,Tx and have a flat back on them ( www.texhas.com/inc/sdetail/12338) which makes it easier to apply with epoxy. As far as the epoxy goes I use the Loctite 324 adhesive with the Loctite 7075 activator to set...

I appreciate the tip on the thong tube spacing Laurence and will give it a shot on the next one. Didn't think about it cracking or checking but now that you pointed that out I can see it. Thanks for all the coments guys. As always it's greatly appreciated. God Bless, Robert

Beautiful work as always Randy. Boy I sure wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of that feather damascus. It looks absolutely awesome.

I appreciate the feedback David

Just finished up a skinner that will be donated to help a friend out that recently got sick and cannot work anymore. The knife blade is made from 5/32" D2 steel hardened and tempered down to 60 rc. The bolsters are stainless steel and dovetailed with ram horn handles and stainless pins and thong...

Thanks for all of the compliments guys.

Recently finished up my first damascus knife. The blade and bolsters are from a damascus raindrop pattern with mammoth tooth handles and vine filework on the spine. The blade is 4" with and OAL of 8 3/4". Heat treated to 60 rc. It was a learning experience working with this stuff and have to...

I love it. Good work. Your grind line could be more perpendicualr to the blade but its still a beautiful knife. I love the jig work on the bolsters. Again good job.
