This is a new design for me. I've often found it difficult to use a pocket knife, or a skinner/hunter to handle turkeys and impossible for fish.

So this is my answer- a 4" damascus leaf- blade, and a 4" handle of 416 stainless (guard with black fiber spacer)and an ancient piece of Illinois bog oak pulled from a farm pond by a Tradganger.

This is most intresting wood. I have just a couple pieces of it left, very small.

You cannot see it from my lousy photo but its full of wavy grain, chatoyance, and depth and works like its been stabilized,and feels just like a piece of bone.

It's fantastic in hand- light, and balanced right at the ricasso.

My sheathmaker has it now.

Very interesting blade/knife design. I like it.

How thick is the blade at the spine?

4 inch blade? That is a delicate, purposeful knife. I can see that it would be a pleasure to use for light skinning and boning. Exactly what it's design for. Nice.

Ray:
I sure wish it was heavier. It looks like the perfect deer blade.
It's beautiful anyway.
