Budget Blades: Lanyard/Pack Skinners...

[rainshadow1]

Here's a batch of 22 lanyard/pack skinner blanks.

They're made from modern sawmill bandsaw steel, heat treated to hold an edge (probably about 65Rc, very good results on dozens I've done so far). They're all convex ground, they will all be blasted and blued, they will all be gripped with micarta, and they will all be sheathed in kydex pack/lanyard style friction fit sheaths.

$50 delivered in the US.

They're numbered and also have their overall length marked on them.

All photos are of the same 22 blades.

Let me know if you want one...



 




 




 




 




 




 



I need 1/2 down to secure one for yourself, then final payment upon completion and before shipment.

I would prefer to not custom build on these blanks, they're excellent cutters, but these were designed to be "bushcraft" hand made knives, and I really like the process and design described above. Look at my other blanks or give me an e-mail to talk about a full on, no holds barred, one off custom on D2 or ATS34 or Damascus, or whatever you desire.

Let me know if you want one of these!

Thanks Guys!

I'd like to lay claim to #21 and #3 for my son and I.  Ready to send you $50 via paypal.  Can't wait to finally get my hands on one of your knives.

Thanks,
Scott

Gotcha, those two are yours, thanks! Will be in touch!

I'll take #15.  Can you receive funds other than using paypal?  PM me.

[rainshadow1]

Mail works fine, or send me a pm, I can do CC plus fee.

I told myself last night that if #2 was still available today I would probably have to buy it.  Looks like its gone so I'll save my $ for a later purchase.  Is your micarta black black or more of a silver/grey black?

[rainshadow1]

It's black black, and I have brown that looks about like Cedar.

Great looking batch of Blades there Steve.  To anyone thinking of buying one of Rainshadows knives, I can attest to their both beauty and functionality.  I've bought I think a half dozen knives from Steve, both budget blades as these are and a fully custom designed knife.  Some for myself and others for presents, everyone has been excellent.

    I too own many of Steves knives and have more coming.  Most of mine are custom build but I have a couple of budget blades.

Thanks guys, these "bushcraft" built work knives are wicked cutters. I've got some real good field stories on their performance...
