Eddie Mullins Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 This was a Christmas present for my father n law this year. A full tang dropped point skinner from an antler found on his property. New 5160 blade with mild steel fittings. For my 2nd knife of this type I am pretty pleased with it.

Steve Shimanek Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 nicely done; tell us how you did the fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks for the kind words. nicely done; tell us how you did the fittings. What would you like to know? The guard was drilled and then filed for a press for to the tang and flattened on the disc grinder for flush fit to the handle. The shape was done with band saw, angle grinder, belt sander and rotary tool. The pommel was shaped similarly. The pommel was also drilled and tang rounded passed through the pommel and peened.

Dodge Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Don't know why, but the thumbnail won't enlarge.... John working now How did you get it to work? No joy here :( Edit: I can get them to open in Chrome but not FireFox. Unfortunately, IFI is slower than frozen snot on Chrome at least on my puter... Nice knife Eddie! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 I just notice my first post says its a full tang knife, it should read hidden tang. How did you get it to work? No joy here :( Edit: I can get them to open in Chrome but not FireFox. Unfortunately, IFI is slower than frozen snot on Chrome at least on my puter... Nice knife Eddie! :) Thanks.. I don't know whats going on with the thumbnails. I made the post using Firefox, so it seems odd its the one causing problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCROB Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Like it Eddie , nice one !! Two thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhartironwerks Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Ok, so I got it work as enlarged. Its a nice blade! My suggestion is to make a photo on a background that does not compete visually, or is too busy, with the blade. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
