Canadian skinner

[SteveS]

with amboyna burl handle. Finished with several coats of satin waterbourne poly. This is the first project I've completed living in exile in Savannah.

I rough shaped it the week before leaving home and brought some klingspor sanding rolls with me to make the final contouring.

Very nice! The handle looks very comfortable and the sapwood really makes a nice contrast with the rest of the handle.

That's beautiful.

It's beautiful, I like the finger grips,four or five more and you are ready for a moose. Are there moose around there? After this fall, I would say there are  none in BC.

[SteveS]

Washington has moose. they range from northeastern WA over to NW Montana. There's not a big number of them, but it's not hard to find them if you know where to look.

On my last paddle trip in BC we saw eight moose, including one with around 48" spread.

Any Moose should be proud to be skinned by such a nice knife.

Sorry to hear you got kicked out of wherever you were before, and I hope you don't need the knife in Savannah




But it looks like a nice skinner, where did you source the blade?

[SteveS]

Thanks, Steve. Lately I've been buying my blades from Texas Knife

I have purchased from knifekits.com in the past, but TK has more of what I was looking for. both places are good businesses.

The knife scales I get from my own stock. I still have about 40 lb of thuya burl, 60 lb of amboyna burl, 100 lb of african blackwood burl/pommele, etc, etc.

Boeing has stated it's profit margins are not high enough so they started laying off engineers last year and will continue through this year. There a few other people I used to work with that ended up here as well.

Looks great.

As it turns out, I need one.  I know some Canadians, but had not thought to take that particular approach.  Makes sense, though.
