Something different from me.Buffalo skinner with a sculpted walnut handle

[John M Cohea]

I had a customer contact me recently and asked if I had ever made a buffalo skinner style knife.I told him a had not but it was on my do list,so he gave me the opportunity to make this one.He sent a pic of a Rudy Ruhauna knife that he liked,which is what the blade is patterned from,the rest is my vision.5" upswept blade of 1095 with forge texture and antique finish and a sculpted curly claro black walnut handle,OAL is 10"The butt end features a freeform natural copper ore nugget and so does the sheath.Photo by Chuck Ward.
