Texas Pig Skinner
« on: January 09, 2009, 09:45:00 AM »
Just finished up a little pig skinner for the Pig Gig in Texas coming up in Feb.  Had to get on the board before ya'll were blown away by knives from a couple other Pig Gigers...Doug & Rob will be there too!  Dang with those two there, I figured I'd better have at least one knife without para-cord   :rolleyes:  Doc

 

Seven inches oal, sheep horn handle...left unpolished to match up with raw forged finger guard.

Nice way to set the bar!   :D   I love the look of that one, very 'Winkleresque'

Tom, I never got any Texas Sweat goat horn big enough to use.  Guess not good enough of a shot especially with you and Terry laughin' your heads off as I tried to crawl closer to them goats  :eek:

bowdoc, If it don't hit the tradin' blanket at Pig Gig, we'll see what it can do on those Quebec black bears    :bigsmyl:
