Title: Partial Tang Palm Skinner...
Post by: rainshadow1 on March 26, 2008, 04:51:09 PM: For a hunting-washington.com member...

Only my second partial tang, and my first on in the "palm skinner" configuration. It came out really nice! Handles beautifully!

Heavily customized shape and cutting configuration. Cocobolo scales and spacer, soldered nickle bolster, stainless lanyard grommet, mosaic pin, leather snap sheath custom fitted to this knife.

What is the overall length of that one?

Killbilly, was this a custom request? Beautiful piece.

Post by: rainshadow1 on March 27, 2008, 09:42:28 AM: Iceman, 6 3/4" overall, 3 1/2" blade.

Gold Tip, Not intricate scrims, but I do inlays and initials and stuff. I've got a few blades to build right now, some basic, some high-end. I could probably get to one within a couple weeks.

Boneaddict, I think you are, actually. I bought 4 big Cocobolo bowl blanks from an importer last year and immediately chopped them into call and knife blanks! Same stock, super rich colors and heavy grain lines.

Post by: KillBilly on April 03, 2008, 05:52:00 AM: Well as usual, I am late again. I received the Palm Skinner 2 days after the post. It is even better in real life. It has a great feel and is sharp as hell. I have shown it to everyone who will stand still for a minute and they have all been very impressed. Thanks again Steve.
