Knife number 2
Canadian skinner
Here is my very first knife I made back in April. I didn't make the blade itself, just made the handle and assembled it, 5" blade with a total on 10" in length, blade width 1.437" (seven sixteenths)Not too sure on the wood I used, but it came from an antique desk and it was a pain to sand and sculpt.
Knife number 2
The Blister Beetle w/ cryo
Now this was a major pain from the beginning. Ruined the Blood wood scales I ordered with it and ended up using the same wood as the first on. Had an issue with the back hokes where the leather is weaved through the pin holes. It is 9.125" in legth, a 4" blade. With a width of an inch and .125 in blade thickness.
Knife number 3
Old timer style skinner with custom handle
I made while waiting on blade #4 to arrive in the mail as a present to my elderly mother. I used yellow pine from 1978 for the handle. I tried my luck at making a semi hidden tang and a completely different handle shape that comes on most Old timer style skinners, didn't turn out too bad for a newbie with a Drexel and handsanding. This blade was given to me in a barter to fix a small finger hole skinning knife. On the small skinning knife, and customer wants to use crab apple (bodark) for the handles.
Knife number 4
Russell Green Texas Butcher
The final knife I made during the spring time was a Russell Green Texas Butcher for my mom since her chef knives keep getting stolen. This knife was probably the quickest and easiest one to date. This is also the first time I used mosaic pins and curly maple
Blade length - 9.562"
Blade width - 1.625"
total length - 15"
Knife number 5
Modded Old Hickory 7" butcher knife
Now my "favorite" knife that I didn't make, I just modified the blade and added a handle that i carved from a piece of strait grain red oak firewood. It is a "rare?" Version of an old hickory 7" blade butcher knife with a half tang. I have tried searching for another butcher knife like it on the interwebsand turned up empty handed. You can barely make out the wording on the blade, but the rust and pitting make it impossible to confirm. The handle (Or what was left of it) was rotted from being buried under pallets in mud for no telling how long.
Can y'all fine folks help me figure out a year range about on how old this knife is that I ruined? I'll be most appreciative. Thank you.
