Title: Damascus and antler skinner
Post by: skullworks on May 12, 2008, 08:05:00 AM

Here is a skinner I made for a guy on another forum. Whitetail antler with a deer skull carving on the butt end. I didn't like it much but he wanted to keep it. Spacer is synthetic material with a brass guard. Sheath is hand made. Hope he likes it!

I really like that one--the blade shape goes well w/ the handle combo.  Very nice sheath.  I'm looking to put one together like that w/ a helle style blade, but may have to make a blank like yours--not damascus.  Great Job!!  Larry

That is a nice combo.  Where did you get the damascus blank? or did you make it?

Awsome
