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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Anderson R Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 good start, the tang seems a bit short but I like the blade shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersenj20 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I merged these 2 threads to avoid confusion. Since you just informed us they are the same thread anyway :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy seale Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 well looks ok, but i would have left more wood at the end for a longer handle, just my thoughte,jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
