Awesome job Sam..........![]()
Thank you, James! The colors got washed out in that pic somehow, this is how it looked in reality, right before wrapping the handle.

Bear Skinner

Awesome looking blade!!! I like the geometry. This knife is actually a 3/4 tang blade my friend made and I put the 1 piece handle on and just called it a “bear skinner” because the blade has a spine just shy of 1/4” thick. It has a nice upsweep to it and I cut it to have nice places to put your thumb either way you are holding it. Just needs a sheath now. Here is a pic of it almost finished.Idk anything about bear skinning....
But a guy at work who hunts, kills, and traps everything, his wife got a bear recently and he used a knife I originally made him for doing detailed work for trapping. I wouldn't think it would be good for dressing bear meat? But he said he worked it for over 5 hours and still remained crazy sharp.....now his taxidermist wants something too? Ugh!
