Description: This West Texas Style Skinner will make an elegant camping, hunting knife, and Western re-enactment accessory and will still be a fine addition to any collection.
The blade was hardened by renowned knifemaker, D’Holder, and has been double tempered and cryogenically treated to give it outstanding edge holding ability. The mirror polished 440C stainless steel blade s precision ground by hand with sharp, clean lines. The point has been 'clipped' off at a fairly straight profile to increase the acuity of the point and is ground with a swedged false edge and left unsharpened. The clip and swedge create a very aggressive point and the knife is easily overall to sheath as the point is lower than the main spine.
The fancy redwood burl scales were hand selected for grain and color and are a perfectly matched set. The coffin shaped handle meets up to red fiber spacers which assist the scales to adjust to temperature and humidity changes. Brass and mosaic pins secure the scales. The guard is polished brass and are also artfully sculpted into a coffin shape.
The sheath is handmade for this knife, resulting in an exceptional fit. It is cut from 8-9oz premium cow hide shoulder. The sheath is artfully hand tooled and has been given five coats of Antique Saddle Tan with two coats of Neat Lac for a beautiful, long wearing water repellent finish. The sheath was hand sewn using a double saddler’s stitch with a double twisting lock. The Mexican Loop is accented with deer antler. The safety strap is also tooled and secures with a brass button stud.
