I just am doing final fit, then will epoxy into handle.

DONE!

Well I'm done, what a adventure of errors and learning.  I have made an almost matching pair of Mountain goat skinners, one for my friend and one for me.   Allan has put up dragging me up and down mountains four years. I am now going to post on a thread in the pow-wow forum my 4 years of goat hunting adventures and present this knife on Trad Gang to my friend Allan (TDHUNTER).  Not until he responds on that thread will the knife go in the mail.


Here are some pictures of the final product!

Well done!

Now use your experience with these and make another.   :D

Thanks Lin. I have one lined up, but it will be a little different for sure.  I can always look in this forum and get expired by your work and the work of all the other excellent knife makers here in trad gang.
