Well awhile back doc made and posted a tiny skinner he made from a file. That knife cost me many hours of sleep. He gave it to Tim fishell last year. I made a neck sheath for the knife for Tim and also told him I wanted first dibbs on it if he ever decided to part with it "[dntthnk]"

. Well I decided to try and make one kinda like it. this is what I ended up with. Blade is from a farriers rasp and is 2" oal is 4.25" bocote and cocobolo handle. I did(or tried) a flat grind. all in all It's no Tippit but I am happy with it. For now anyways.

Ya know I really kinda like these Rasps. Almost as much as sawblades. Just finishing up a hidden tang bowie from the other part of this skinner.As a matter of fact it's in the oven as I type this.<><

A small group of us did a Christmas exchange last year. It was done like a secret santa type so nobody knew who thier gift came from. I love small knives and until not to long ago I never knew who made this knife. I got the knife and fell in love with it. I found out Doc made it and then it made perfect sense why it is such a great knife. It didnt come with a sheath so I right away dropped Frank a line and asked if he could make me a neck sheath for it. Oh course in true fashion he made me a sheath and charged me nothing. At that time he didnt tell me who made it but told me that if I ever sold it he had first dibs. Here are some pics of my knife:

BTW Frank your lil skinner looks awesome. It would make a great matching pair with this one....if you wanted to part with it!!

OH man yes Doc it still works great. That thing has skinned many squirrels and rabbits and has breasted out a few grouse and turkeys.
