Hope this works. This is a drop point skinner I recently completed. The blade is S30V with stonewashed finish and the handle is Zebra wood.

Looks like nice work Mike, I like that blade with that style handle, looks very usable and nice looking at the same time. nice

That's a nice looking knife. The only thing I don't care for is the stonewashed finish. That's just a personal preference thing though.

Thanks for the feedback! I went with the stonewashed finish 1) because S30V is nearly impossible to polish to a finish that I like and 2) this was intended from the beginning to be a field knife and the stonewash hides the inevitable scratches that come from use. I really like the way the knife feels in the hand when used like this.

I find myself using a knife this way more often than an actual a full handle grip when field dressing big game, so i tried to design the knife around this type of hold.
