So about that Osage Skinner...

[JK Knives]

The difference in curves between a plain, "nobody notices" woman and a "stop and whistle" woman are really very slight and subtle. The curves and lines on this knife are just "oh so fine" makes me wolf whistle for sure! I invite more pics of this knife or it's sisters, please. John, do you have any Osage Orange Slabs?

I have one set left.

I love the Osage handles. They look great. That is one heck of a skinner!

Sweet - that is a great looking knife.

Love the picture of the landscape too - very serene.

Thanks and congrats on another JK on the way!

I recently saw where Tahts posted some of his knives for sale, and one in particular caught my eye.

This Osage Skinner has a certain appeal. I don't think I've ever seen a knife quite like it, and it looks well suited to take a deer apart.

Thought maybe it should have its own thread so as to get some much needed attention.

John, what are the chances that you saved the pattern for this one?

I think this knife would look fantastic in Ironwood...

this is why I suggested a gallery of "past work" in another thread... sometimes a person justt don't know they need something till they see it.

This an incredibly beautiful knife, and I am glad John could make it a reality for me.

I will just let the photos speak for themselves. They do a decent job of capturing the grain of this ironwood, I could not be happier.

Can't wait to get this bad boy bloody!

Thanks John!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

This is without a doubt the most beautiful fixed blade I own. Freaking love it.

I do believe that Mr. K can make more.
