February 11, 201412 yr It has been while since I have posted anything in the forums. But I thought I might share this little skinner that I made for a co-worker. It is a 1095 blade with a Whitetail deer antler handle. The sheath is just leather stitched with waxed thread then formed to the knife. I think it came out very nice. The blade quenched beautifully in some warm vegetable oil. Then I tempered it in the oven until a dark straw (about an hour or so at 425F).
February 15, 201412 yr Very cool. Love the fat handle and ergo blade shape. I bet control is excellent even when slippery.
February 15, 201412 yr Author He liked it so much he wants a matching Fillet knife. So I get to make something I have never made. Time to start the R&D!!! Anyone want to suggest a good beginner steel for a fillet knife???
February 28, 201412 yr It looks great and very comfy to hold. The cool handle suits very well the awesome blade. Great job!
