It's O1 at 62 HRC with micarta scales and liner.

Finished this skinner yesterday. I've been designing this one for awhile so it feels good to see the end product. Originally it wasn't supposed to have bolsters but I broke one of the scales at the front pin hole. I think it came out better with the carbon fiber anyway. .130 AEB-L at 61 rc, stabilized and dyed redwood burl, carbon fiber bolsters and pins.

Many years ago I made for my brother a blade that looks just like that one for deer. He loved it!..I imagine that one will work and look great to it,s user.

What a cool idea! I'm just starting to research how to make some basic leather sheaths. I'll put this in the memory bank. Thanks for sharing!

I can't take credit for it. I learned it here but I can't remember who from.
I only leave it in the vaccum bag for about 10 minutes, then I pull the knife out and hit it with a heat gun to lock the shape in. Saves a lot of time.
 
Working on my latest design for a skeletonized neck knife in CPM-20CV. 5/32" thick, flat V grind, big ol' harpoon style swedge. The WharnPoon.

Here I thought I was being creative lol. It seems like it will be very handy. Hopefully it gets some use here in the next few weeks.

I should have looked harder. Looked like a piece of wood with a dent in it. :\

I learned a pretty valuable lesson about grinder safety this weekend. Never lay a blade on the belly of the belt to keep it out of the dust while you work on the drill press. That was a pretty big suprise when I came back later and flipped on my grinder.

LOL There isn't much new in the world of knife patterns. :D

It's a 2x72 belt where the abrasive surface is delaminating from the joint backing.

Dude! You need some new belts! When I started another maker told me to use belts as if they were free.
My production times went down and the quality of my work went up!
