Gday guys, have been pretty busy lately with the bows and knives, here is a little project I have had floating around in my head for a while now, step one was to design and make some knives suitable for the job, which is when I came up with these nice little scanti grind skinners, all handle are 2 tone Aussie hardwoods with either brass or stainless steel bolsters and pins, all blades are 52100 high carbon hardened to 60 on the rockwell scale.

After a bit of messing around with some Roo leather I came up with this, super flexible with the double layer thin roo leather,

Nice work Sean, The whole outfit looks great. I've been keen on trying something like that ever since I saw Barry Wensel wearing a bracer with a little skinner attached in MBB. Your bolsters look very neat, are they pinned or silver soldered? I like the way they blend into the scales. Love the two tone scales with accent. That a unique looking sheath design too. Top job mate.

Cheers.... Rod
