This is a palm skinner with a modified caping point, done in 15N20 and bocote. Very fat handle and super secure to hang onto.
OAL 6.5 inches, with a 3 5/8 cutting edge. Handle scales are a touch over 3 inches, but don't be fooled, you can hang onto this through anything.
Steel is .095 15N20, differentially tempered (the spine and tang are drawn down to be softer, making for a more durable knife) with a buffed forge finish and bluing to the worked portions of the tang and spine. Grind is convex, but very shallowly done for a fine edge. Stropping will take care of it fine, but I sometimes use a ceramic kitchen 'steel' when I'm out doing meat work as well.
Handle is bocote, and works out to 7/8 inch thick all across the widest part, very fat and secure handle. Pins are 3/16 brass.
Sheath is Koyote Girl made, fully doubee hand stitched on both seams, with a snap closing full flap. Inside of the snap is lined with a flap of leather to prevent undue handle wear. Double stitching means that each hole on each seam has 2 threads going through it, making it durable and able to hold together even if a few stitches get cut (it's also easy to repair, if it comes to that) - you can't do it with a machine, and all the stitches are done by hand.
Asking $110 including USPS priority shipping in the US. If you are a Basic member or above on BF, knock $10 off, if you aren't, pay spark $10 and get a membership, then knock $10 off- simple way to support the site. paypal and money order or check preferred. Checks wait a couple days to clear out, of course.
Thanks!
