Mesquite and CM154 semi-skinner

[Jason Fry]

This knife is a one-off, a design I've never done before. Not sure I'll make another. It's kind of like the bullnose skinner I've done several of, but built off of 1 x 3/32 stock instead of the usual 1 1/4 x 3/16 stock for that knife. Overall length is 7 inches with a 2 5/8 400 grit hand finished blade of CM154 steel at RC 60. My heat treat and dry ice cryo. The knife has satin finished, dovetailed 416 SS bolsters and a nice thin tapered tang. The handle is stabilized spalted mesquite from my neighbor's front yard. The sheath is my work as well, from Wickett and Craig leather. This knife has already been sold.

I'm glad it's sold Jason. I've been trying to figure out how I could buy it myself without the little lady knowing and using it on me.

What would one like that cost a good ole southern boy, if you had another one to sale?
