[QUOTE="randallss7, post: 2303064, member: 24507"] Here is a buffalo skinner I finished up for a fellow from another forum I play around on, He approached me a few months ago wanting a knife to skin buffalo. I thought why, I figured maybe a select number of people would ever even skin one buffalo in a life time, but not this guy he actually does it quite often.... Since I know nothing about skinning a buffalo I worked with him to produce this knife. I was worried at first and thought it would turn out pretty ugly due to the fact I just couldn't get into the shape and size. But I think it panned out I actually like it we spent quit a bit of time trying to get a good balance on the knife and it turned out pretty light and fast in hand for as large as it is, balance point is just at back edge of bolster not bad. Sheath turned out easier than I thought, but it chewed up enough leather to make a couple regular sheaths...lol. 11 1/8" total blade is 6"ish made from 5/32 1095, full flat grind, 300g finish, cooked pretty hard as he is going for edge retention and said he would only skin, not bone, or chop, or pry with it...lol. handle is a strait grain Ironwood with stainless bolster [URL=http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/randallss7/media/DSC_0005_zps504fbd5a.jpg.html][IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1248.photobucket.com_albums_hh487_randallss7_DSC_0005_zps504fbd5a.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/randallss7/media/DSC_0009_zpsc1b1fc82.jpg.html][IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1248.photobucket.com_albums_hh487_randallss7_DSC_0009_zpsc1b1fc82.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/randallss7/media/DSC_0010_zps12bc1e18.jpg.html][IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1248.photobucket.com_albums_hh487_randallss7_DSC_0010_zps12bc1e18.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/randallss7/media/DSC_0015_zpsdb153cae.jpg.html][IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1248.photobucket.com_albums_hh487_randallss7_DSC_0015_zpsdb153cae.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
