Hog Skinners
« on: February 01, 2007, 02:05:00 PM »
Well here it is the first of February. In two weeks Irish & I will be huntin hogs with Ray on the St Judes hunt!  Gotta keep a positive attitude so I fixed up some skinners for the group.  

OOOOOHHHH YEAHHHHHH!!!! to quote a bunny hunt the same weekend, We're having a special guest!!!! Better work something up...Doc

Top...Ray's with some of his sheep horn

Middle...Irish's right handed osage(even though he'll be shootin' left...due to skiing mishap  :(

Bottom...My bear skinner hoping to get into some hog meat!

tippit, those are gorgeous knives. Is knife making just a hobby for you, or do you make them on order?

beautiful work!

Oh my, aren't those some pretty things? And look at the color red in that sheephorn! Is that pretty or what??? Look at the difference a little time makes in that osage.

Doc...looking forward to using that one with you guys in a couple weeks.

Ray,  It does have a few streaks of red in it.  Also really neat looking on edge...like glass/see right thru it.

Pete, Just a hobie, haven't gotten good enough to sell anything plus that makes it work   :eek:

tippit, I understand the 'work' part of it. The good enough part I don't particularly agree with. :-)

Let me know if you ever decide to test the waters, or need to find one a home!

Tippit, what do you use for the brass rivets? Any advice on how to do it? I have a handle I'm working on that I should probably use them on...

If you could PM me, that would be great...

Thanks,

Ahhhh yeah, sweet lookin blades. You fellers are in for a serious good time, weather should have the hogs bunched up. If you find em, you better have your quiver full of sharp ones and yer hog stickers fer back up!

Norb, I used to use bronse welding rod 1/8" & smaller.  But since I'm pounding these blades out of bar stock steel I like to stay with steel pins...4-8 plain old finishing nails glued in & ground flush.  The bronse is too fancy for my knives  :)

Dude, you make some of the finest quality hand-forged knives I've ever seen. Seriously,your work is touching up to world class! I've seen hand forged blades alone, not as good as yours, that sell for  hundreds of dollars.

Alex,
After listening to your amazing keyboard playing in Boston...you have a deal.  I could always use another swiss army knife especially if we trade at another one of your shows  :)

robtattoo,  
Thanks for the compliment especially with the way you produce your beautiful knives.  I hope we get to meet at the changing of the guard in Texas...Doc

Hope to have my custom made skinner in my hands soon.  Perhaps I'll be able to use it at SEMOHH.
