What steel is the Dog Skinner made out of?

[trukreltrog]

Are all the Dog Skinners made out of D2? Just bought a modified one, owner wasn't sure.



ETA: So was this the only model pictured? http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=329328&highlight=dog+skinner Or was there another Dog Skinner with a shorter blade? I'm sure they do different colored handles like Busse right?

Thanks guys. :thumbup:

Seems like they were all D2. I know my Ganza model is.
Keepers for sure.

Thanks, missed that one. :thumbup:

ETA: is that the Blade length on all of the Dog Skinners?

On dog skinners yes - Rat Hunters were shorter.

That I now know!

Well there you go, gotta start over now.

What were the Rat Hunters made out of?


ETA: Found it. http://www.swampshack.com/ SR101

Thanks :thumbup:

Yeah, the Rat Hunters were made of SR101. In my opinion, as stated in another thread, probably the BEST EVER EDC to EVER come out of the Busse Family of knives. I love mine and it will be the last EDC I EVER part with.

Nothing to date has come close... :thumbup:

Yep, D2 for the Dog Skinners. There was the original Master Series D2 Dog Skinner in satin with black canvas micarta (beautiful!) and a Ganza version in double cut with smooth black and tan canvas bolstered.

Great, great blades. I've a hard time deciding whether the Dog Skinner or Desert Jack are my all time favorite.

(There were some custom shop DS at a couple of Ganzas also.)

Eh. I had a CS Dog Skinner. I just didn't like the handle. It ONLY felt good if my index finger was in the choil. That's only part of the task. Otherwise a nice blade, but not my fav. Busse-fam EDC. (Not sure what that is yet, but I'll let you know when I figure it out. LOL)

I just get hold of this Custom Dog Skinner
Anybody who knows how many where made with this two-tone handle?
This is a safe queen by the way

May latest is a Rat Hunter bought from VoxHog, still have to sharpen this one up, but looks and feels like a great hunter

I felt the same way about the handle on my CS Dog Skinner, I couldn't warm up to it at all. So I traded it off.

I ended up buying a somewhat nuetered Rat. A little bigger than a Game Warden, but I do like it a lot.

I love the rat hunter. near tops of my wish list!

Waterbuck,

Glad to see that the Rat Hunter is still loved. Now go and get her sharp!
