    I have a great customer that orders knives in sets. This months set was a pair of Persian skinners, I don't know what he plans on skinning but they were really fun to make!

    Steel: Hanson W2
    OAL: 13"
    Blade: 8"
    Handle: Black and OD G10
    Misc: Tapered Tang, Hamon, Mosaic Pins
    Sheaths: Kydex and Leather

    Skinner #2:
    Steel: Hanson W2
    OAL: 11"
    Blade: 6.5"
    Handle: Black and OD G10
    Misc: Tapered Tang, Hamon, Mosaic Pins
    Sheaths: Kydex and Leather

    Nice!!!! If I had to guess, I would say that an ancient Persian warrior might use those for skinning Assyrians or Babylonians.

    Very nice work.

    Ryan,

    Lovely Persian blades with super hamons.

    Thanks for the look at the finished blades, and compliments again on your hamon tutorial.

    Sinuous, utilitarian, elegant, business-like, and wicked-looking. These are the kind of knife that I absolutely love. Beautiful execution!

    Sorry for the delay, Thanks everyone for the very kind words...

    John, I really appreciate you posting my chasing of the hamons is partly due to your past knives! Thank you.

    I finally got the sheaths finished up and these are on their way to their owners, one final shot!
