Jantz Silver Mink Kit

[E.K.Tryon]

So I finished my son's birthday present today. Started it late winter and have been slow of gather the tools (1x30 sander, drill press) I needed to finish. I swapped the wood scales for green Micarta and also did the Kydex sheath. The Kydex was much easier then I expected to work with. I hope my son will have a chance to use this skinner as he is a teacher in Arctic Alaska.

Well, that's a much nicer job than I've done on kit knives but at least I still have all my toes!

Seriously though, that's a worthy effort and I'm sure your son will greatly appreciate all the effort you put in on his behalf.

(The kydex is somewhat less than traditional but we'll give you a pass (on effort alone) this time around. )

Nice looking skinner-- should be very useful for your son. Congrats!

Definitely nicer than my early attempts at kit knives!

Very nice.

Moved to "Hunting & Fishing" to hopefully garner more views and replies for the OP.

Your son is gonna be proud of that.

Great job! Looks like it would do the trick.

Nice work, kudos to you as I haven't made any sort of knife yet. What a birthday present!
