I've never had an opportunity to need a skinner, but that looks like it'd do the job nicely. The finish on the blade is lovely. I'm far from a fan of a mirror polish, your finish looks great. The handle looks comfortable and secure. Very nice. Not sure why, but making a bolster like that seems like voodoo to me. I can do a tapered tang, distal taper and all that, but the guard is beyond my abilities.Hey Anthony. I haven't been in the sheaths sub for a while but I'm usually around the Custom & Handmade and Bladesmith Q&A subs. I posted a little Nessmuk style skinner and sheath not too long ago in those locations. If you haven't seen it take a look. Tell me what you think. Here is a link:

The sheath is super clean. I like how you did the stamping on the front panel. The loop flesh is nicely slicked and the dye is great.
Overall, it's a very nice package for a good cause.
