The first knife is a skinner design inspired by a knife my son Jonathan drew up. The knife is 7 5/8 long with an upswept 3 3/8 blade of ATS34 stainless hardened to 60RC and dry ice tempered. Machine satin finish. The knife features a tapered tang, contoured red micarta handles with 1/16 white micarta liners, and brass Corby bolts. Incidentally, this is my first time to use Corbies. This one's sold already.
Front side
Backside
Tapered tang, white liners
The second knife also fits the skinner category, but is totally opposite the previous knife. This knife is also ATS 34 stainless, also 60 RC and dry ice tempered. That's where the similarities end. This knife is shorter at 6 1/2 inches with a 2 5/8 bullnosed blade with cut swedges and alot of belly. 500 grit satin hand finish. It features a thin tapered tang with curly satinwood handles and red fiber liners with brass pins. This one's out to my mailing list right now. I'll put it in the classifieds if it doesn't sell.
Front side, nice curly wood.
Back side
Thin tapered tang and cut swedges
Thanks for looking
