Hey guys. I've been making knives for about 3-4 months now and the other day my dad asked me to make a skinner for him. Here is what I came up with.

Im sorry about the bad pic quality, but please tell me what you think.
P.S. Im only 18 so go easy on me

I used a bader 3 with an 8 inch contact wheel.

Nice job.

On future knives, try and center all rivets along the mid-line of the blade. It could be the camera angle, but in the photo, it looks like they are above the center.

Very nice work! He will love it. Remember that on a skinner you want to give germs, blood and gunk as few places to hide as possible. So on the next one I would do away with the file work and the laynard hole. Great Job !!!
