Duncs Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 That looks like it'd work really well in the hand on a big animal, Geoff. Nice stuff! You're churning them out now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonaHunter Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I personally dont go much on this style but youve done a great job of making it. Is that a crack through the handle? Nice looking wood either way. Did you get your drive back yet Geoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optic Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Im not a fan either. But if your skinning, they are real good to use. In any case its a nice looking knife and i would be glad to have one on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafloss Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I didn't really like this blade when it arrived but it's surprisingly comfortable in the hand. I personally don't use this shape of knife as I like something a bit more multi-functional. As HJ said though, if you only need it it for skinning, this shape works really well - short & easily controlled. I've got a few more blades that aren't really my cup of tea but they were cheap & will be good to practice on. I think the next one will be a small Bowie-style. The line through the timber is just a very shallow sap line. No drive yet Shawn, but the mail up here has been woefully slow. Probably tomorrow.

gsp Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 very nice Geoff,like the shape and size for skinning,taking a guess that's about a 60/ 75mm blade.if a bloke was to want one the same what sort of money are we looking at? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much??? Haven't even thought about selling yet (maybe after I've got a few more under my belt). With the fall in the Aussie dollar, materials cost around $65-70. I don't have any more of these blades on hand but I'll let you know when I'm ordering more & see if you're still interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
