Continuing to thin the collection, adding this cool skinner from Tim Steingass I got several years ago but have never used.
"Beaver Knife in stabilized Bastogne Walnut and 1095. Used for fleshing out game, the rounded nose of the blade prevents puncturing the pelt. This will be the only hollow ground version of the knife that I'm going to make - future versions will be flat ground - there's just too much hand work involved in getting a wide hollow grind like this true across the nose. The blade was hand rubbed to a working 400 grit finish and etched to reveal a vivid hamon line. The hollow ground blade is sharpened all the way up to the spine with deep 15 degree bevels for quick slicing of connective tissue - as such, this knife is specialized and not designed for heavy bushcraft work. The bottom of the ricasso is rounded and sized to comfortably/safely choke up on the blade with your index finger. The Bastogne Walnut was stabilized by K&G Finishing - the picture does not capture the chatoyance and curls that pop in and out as you move the knife. The solder joint is straight and true with no pinholes - superb fit and finish."
One of a kind, super sharp and looks great! Comes with RH brown sheath, pictured.
Asking $400 PP G&S, shipping via USPS Priority included.
Reasonable offers considered.
