This skinner is made with 1/4" thick 440C that has been professionally heat and cryogenically treated. The tang is tapered. The blade hollow ground. Pins and bolsters are 416 stainless. The scales are desert ironwood and are about as good as I have been able to own. the handle has finger notches and the thick blade and ironwood give a lot of heft and a nice feel to this piece.
Thank you for looking.

That's a good looking skinner! Overall length is what? About 10 inches?

Ecart has a good eye. This is a ten inch overall with a 4 1/2" drop point blade.

Real sharp piece, Rich. (Pun intended).

Always a treat to see your latest work. Would love to own one, if I had the cash to spare. Looking at your knives, it is apparent you are meticulous in your labor to make them.

Another sweet looking knife, Rich. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful! Great work.

what a beauty. thats the kind of craftsmenship i aspire to be able to perform.

sweet lines! love the transition from the guard to the blade, very sleek.

Looking good as usual Rich !

Love the bolster and the thought that its got some heft lends to it.
