The larger of these two was made for the customer last year. While skinning deer at camp he managed to cut himself with it while working on a small doe and decided he want a "doe" knife also. He wandered over to my place with a template and asked me to build it using the same materials as the first one.
The larger one has a blade of 4 1/4 inches; the smaller is 3 1/2. Both are flatground from 3/32 inch 154CM HT'd by D'Holder. Mirror polish, distal taper and convex edges. Trim is copper and the scales are ivory micarta with red/black spacers and red liners. The leather sheaths(I'm just finishing the one for the smaller) are my usual pouch style in 8-10 oz bridle leather. Makes for a handy set of blades.
