This mini skinner is forged from a .531" dia round bar of 52100. It is a full tang integral with a stabilized maple burl handle. The scales are attached with glue and 3 nickel silver pins that are peened after the handle is completed. This knife comes with a leather belt sheath. Each knife is slightly different with handle material and slight shape changes due to each one being made by hand.

Bug Out Blade (BOB I)

The knives are made by profiling a billet of the 52100 that has been forged down close to the needed thickness and then ran through my rolling mill. It is then flattened out and the blades are profiled by water jet cutting. The blade is then reforged to put in the finger guard. The flats on these knives have been left in the as forged condition and after grinding, heat treated and bead blasted, a coat of tool black is applied. These knives have a finger guard, thumb notches, tong hole, and fire steel striker notch on butt. The blades and short section of the butt are differentially heat treated. The blades are then oiled and finished. The horse stall mat is the same material that a lot of the competition cutters use for hard use cutting and is a compressible hard rubber . This handle material is glued with Loctite glue, ground to shape and then no. 4 copper pins are peened to make the most secure handle possible.
