154 CM and Mesquite small skinning knife

[Jason Fry]

I've got a knife available for you today. I'm planning on holding out most of my next few batches of blades so I'll have knives for the Guild show in September, but I need to keep selling a few to keep the show on the road. This knife is a one-off, a design I've never done before. Not sure I'll make another. It's kind of like the bullnose skinner I've done several of, but built off of 1x3/32 stock instead of the usual 3/16 stock for that knife. Overall length is 7 inches with a 2 5/8 blade of CM154 steel at RC 60. The knife has satin finished, dovetailed 416 SS bolsters and a nice thin tapered tang. The handle is stabilized spalted mesquite from my neighbor's front yard. The sheath is my work as well. $250 to your door.

Very nice design and looks to be well balanced.
