Fun to resurrect this old thread...My son, David, is occasionally making these basic budget bushcraft skinners.
Too busy (with Track, church and fiddling Music, Steelhead, wetsuit surfing, winter Yakima Canyon trout, visiting his mom to go get his braces adjusted, Homeschooling out his senior year, and trying to get a job at Red’s Fly Shop) to take pre-orders, but I’ll do my best to have him keep turning a few out here and there.
These are 15n20 sawmill bandsaw steel, hand heat treated, 3x tempered, sheathed with kydex in a pack sheath that can be lashed to things. Sheath pinned with .22 casings.
These particular two are gripped with micarta, and personally inspected by me.
$50 each, includes postage. (40 goes to David.)
These are excellent knives.
Thanks for supporting my boys in their knifeshop apprenticeship!
(Alex, the previous budget knife builder, decided to get off the college biology track, and got a real job as a welder/fabricator and has since earned a couple welding certifications. When he applied for that job, his future boss looked at his resume and said, “You’re the knife guy, right?” YOU guys did that! Thanks!)
