Badger Knife #3 - Tinus Beukes Persian Skinner

[Brian_Turner]

Persian skinner is what I came up with for a pattern name. Anyone's better suggestion is welcome. The blade is damascus by South African farrier Heather Shoe Bothan, the scales are warthog ivory, and the sheath is elephant skin.

You can't help but like the Bwana Beukus.
Hey! How about "Bwana" for your knife name?
Tinus is a great guy and his knives are very affordable. I use one in the kitchen.

Actually, I would call that style a trailing-point hunter rather than a persian skinner.
