My first skinner,Forged 5160

[C.Edmondson]

Here is my first knife made for a customer and the first moasic pin I have made, I met a nice guy from the Water patrol police in Geneva,Al one day at Subway, we some how got on the conversation of knives and he ordered on from me. I forged this out of 5160 bar stock, Heat treated and tempered, and its sharp as hell. Mr Haynes comes to get the knife on the 19th of this month, I hope hes happy,LOL I followed a fellow members recipe for 5160 and it worked awesome. I cut with it allday and its still very sharp. Thanks everyone for all your help, without some of you guys I would be in the dark, I really appreciate all your help,Charlie

Great looking knife! I am working on one very similar, just a different handle shape. What handle material is that?

Purpleheart, I just put the tung oil to it and sanded it to around 1000 grit, turned out good, Thanks for all the nice comments,Charlie
