LaClair Skinner
« on: July 30, 2010, 01:53:00 PM »
I think that this will be my go to knife this fall. The 3 3/4" blade is forged from 5160, stag grips with an overall length of 7 7/8"

Nice looking knife. Is Ron teasing us with that one or are they available for purchase?

There's a well designed, no nonsense hunting knife. It's one you can pass down to your grandkids. Lin

This morning I added deerskin lanyards to a couple of the Skinners. I think they'll serve a purpose plus I like the looks.

That is a beauty, Ron - the style and look sort of reminds me of some knives made from high-quality old butcher knifes. Fits in with the Ron LaClair personna - IMO.

I kinda like the Drop-Point too.
