February 9, 200917 yr This is a new skinner that i have been working on for a while now. I spent 3 hours filing it today. I have quenched it in motor oil, and hardened it. I will be putting scales on it soon. Comments and criticism are welcome. Thanks. overall length- 7 in. blade length- 3 1/2 in. handle length- 3 1/2 in. widest part- 1 3/4 in. thickness- 3/16 in.
February 9, 200917 yr I'm a big fan of skinners. I don't know why, I don't skin. This looks cool. Make sure and post final pictures.
February 9, 200917 yr Author Thanks all. It is a bit short, but you just have to put your pinky around the back, and it is actually kinda comfortable. I will deffidently post finished pics of it. thanks again.
April 9, 200917 yr Author This is my first finished knife, still working on it. All i have left is to put the brass rivets in , and do the finish sanding. comments and advice are welcome.

April 10, 200917 yr I merged these 2 threads to avoid confusion. Since you just informed us they are the same thread anyway :D
April 10, 200917 yr well looks ok, but i would have left more wood at the end for a longer handle, just my thoughte,jimmy
April 16, 200917 yr Author Yea, the handle just looks small because i am 6' 6" and have huge hands. It fits my dads hand well, and that is all that matters because this knife is for him.
