Ecart Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 This is a skinner that I made a couple of months ago. Full tang construction with walnut slabs and 1/4" brass screws from Pop's Knife Supply. Finished with Tung Oil. The steel is from 3/16" Circular saw blade steel. Edge bevels are hand forged. It is flat ground to 400 grit then polished with buffing compound. OAL: 9 3/4" Blade length: 4 3/4" Blade width at widest point: 1 9/16" I was going to send this one off to a knife maker out west so he could have a look at it, but poor finances has hindered that. I found a local knife maker this past weekend that liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_cooter Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Nice work, Eric. The walnut really sets off the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecart Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 I love using walnut. The first time I tried it I didn't think it would be very pretty until I put a coat of sanding sealer on it. Then suddenly the grain popped out and I saw just how pretty the handle was going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
