Benchmade Skirmish Tanto

[Beile]

I got bored today and talked myself out of buying a new folder and ended up making a blade for my Skirmish. It didn't help. I hate when I can't get that, I gotta get a new folder feeling out of my head!

Nice I love to see carbon steel folders. Not enough "modern" production companies use them.

That looks good. How about a pic of it closed?

Thanks

Looks very nice, at first I thought you took a normal Skirmish blade and ground it down.

Thanks Kim. I learned not to do that after destroying a few good blades.
