Vintage Skinner - Back to life!

[rainshadow1]

Back with a vintage "Hammer Forged" Made in USA buffalo skinner type knife. Really great handling and feeling vintage knife!

I have a couple "before" pics below.

Gave this knife a re-heat-treat, edge quench, and temper. Cleaned it up but didn't resurface it. That's original patina, just clean enough to re-grip. Built the new grips out of a beautiful piece of Gabbon Ebony. Seems like this knife was asking for plain, one piece scales, so that's what I did, only with high-end wood!

Really happy with the product!

$80 without leather.

Here are a couple pics of it "Before"...

This knife is 9" overall, 4.75" cutting edge.


Thanks for looking!

Thank you, Jack.

Your number is probably closer to what it should be, but I need it to find a home.

I am running amuck through 2 busy weeks right now, but then - if it's still around - I'll sheath it, add to the price, and post it in all my other haunts. It's just here for now.

This knife is amazing to hold in your hand, the feel heft and balance is beautiful, especially with the heavy dense smooth ebony, and it makes you imagine all the life this piece of steel has already lived... I love doing these!
