Strange skinner....

My gym's owner processes a lot of elk during archery season .  He asked me to make this knife for him.  I think its ugly but he truly likes it.

alaskan style knife , they work great for skining. the rounded tip makes for fast skinning with out the poke throughs on the hide.

I like it.  Some jobs can make you not care about looks.

Yes, it's ugly, but I like it anyway. I bet it works very well for its intended purposes. Form follows function and all that.

Beauty can be found in performance, not just presentation.

She won't win any beauty contests but the customer loves her.  This was a freeby prototype to see if it works anyhow.  If I get orders from his friends, then I will make them prettier.
