New Skinner

[stikbrandon]

Just finished up my new skinner, just need to put the fine edge on her and she’s ready.I may para cord the handle, not sure yet.

Looks good, I’d go with paracord.... that thing is gonna be slicker than snot when it’s bloody.

@stikbrandon how did you cut it out of the saw blade?

 

[stikbrandon]

@NBK - I used a angle grinder with a 4.5” wheel.

I rough cut it and then used a bench sander to fine tune it. I’m pretty happy
I drew a the rough look of what I was after and just went for it.

Also I acid etched it, then through it in some RubLine rocks. First time Iv ever attempted to make a knife.

Good stuff Brandon. Any plans for a sheath?

Just a simple kydex blade protector I’m sure, I got that stuff laying around and it’s easy to throw together. I was thinking about trying to do a leather sheath not sure yet.

That's rad man. Looking forward to some pictures of it covered in blood next season

was the steel hard enough on a concrete blade to make a knife?

 

[fish impaler]

Skateboard grip tape or adhesive backed sandpaper works on the handle and is more streamlined than paracord

Yes
