Description: This Drop Point Skinner shows a well thought out design and displays an amazing degree of craftsmanship. It will make an elegant camping or hunting knife 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 ensuring a keen, long lasting edge matched with exceptional durability. The mirror polished 440C stainless steel blade is precision ground by hand with sharp, clean lines. The spine is hand fileworked resulting in a comfortable and secure thumb rest. With the distal tapered tang, you are ensured a perfect balance in the hand.
The stabilized box elder burl scales were hand selected for grain and color. The scales meet up to a black fiber spacer which assists the scale to adjust to temperature and humidity changes.
The sheath is handmade for this knife. It was wet formed for a snug fit. The sheath is a closed pouch design which covers three quarters of the knife’s handle. A woven leather thong is provided for easy removal of the knife. The sheath is cut from 8-9 ounce premium cow hide shoulder and is handsomely hand tooled and has been given two airbrushed coats of saddle tan leather dye while the edges and borders were airbrushed with medium brown leather dye to bring out the depth and detail of the tooling. Finally the sheath was treated with two coats of Leather Sheen for a beautiful, long wearing water repellent finish. The sheath was hand sewn using a Triple Saddler’s Stich with a Double Twisting Lock. The maker has even included the original custom wooden form used in the individual construction of this uniquely beautiful sheath!
