Hi Folks
Two blades fresh off the workbench this week
The 'Hemmingway' - an old-world skinning knife. Like it's namesake, understated and functional. Broad tip, fat belly, finger curve on the choil and razor sharp - made for the field, it'll make light work of any hunting task.
This one is in 1095 carbon steel with a Hamon and stonewash finish - razor sharp! Two-tone, oiled Leadwood scales with brass lanyard tube, pins and a mosaic pin. File-work on the spine to help maintain a firm grip in slippery situations. Hand-stitched, fitted leather sheath with toolwork.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Blade: 1095 carbon steel (+/- 60 HRC)
- Blade thickness: 3.5mm (0.14")
- Blade depth: 36mm (1.41")
- Blade length: 97mm (3.8")
- Overall length: 202mm (7.9")
- Handle material: Oiled Leadwood with vulcanized fibre liners
- Fittings: Brass
- Weight: 152g (5.3oz)
- Weight with sheath: 218g (7.6oz)










400 Euro
Also in my webshop with a few more pics and a video: 'Hemmingway' Skinner - Hamon & Leadwood
Thanks for looking!
