Carved dyed bone skinner

[Justin Presson]

This is one I just finished up.
Man I love the look and the feel of dyed bone but I hate the smell and finishing the pins gives me fits, but I think it's worth it.
When I first joined bladefourms I seen some knives by maker Darrin Sanders and they looked pretty much just like this except he etched the blades black and I was just starting to even think about making knives so I saved the pic for inspiration about a year and a few months later I finally made one.

All comments welcomed.

Very nice skinner. I think jigged bone is underrated as a handle material(except on slippies where it's a staple).........it is fairly strong, quite stable, affordable and can be almost any color or texture you can imagine. Plus we're not likely to run out of it anytime soon.:thumbup:
