St Judes Tippit Knife??
« on: April 19, 2015, 12:29:00 PM »
This past year has been a bit tuff with a total knee surgery in July and back surgery in December.  I haven't been in my forge since last June.  But I'm happy to report that both surgeries went quite well and I am feeling great!  So I've been forging like mad for the past 3 weeks.  

Now the decision for St Judes...Skinner or Camp/Kitchen blade.  These two are unfinished in fact the skinner just came out of the tempering oven.  Do I go with a 7 1/2 inch skinner or an 11 inch camp/kitchen knife??  Either will be finished with a nice handle and probably a Kydex sheath.  Guess I'll have to ponder that while I'm turkey hunting in Nebraska next week  :)   tippit

Not to throw in another choice, but about a neck knife Jeff, you ever do something like that?

That Ulu skinner would do it for me, that is a nice design.

Either of the skinners would be my choice Doc!

If I had to choose, I would select the 7.5 skinner over the ulu-style.

Either way - it will be a blessing for the kids!

THANK YOU for your generosity and willingness to support!

awbowman,
Kydex really shines for a neck because it holds the knife so firmly in place.

   

   

Unless you are talking about the original Native American neck knives!

The camp,kitchen knife would be my choice. I love the design of that one and unfortunately I spend a lot more time in the kitchen now a days than I do skinning game.

My vote would be for either of the skinners, but I'm sure whatever you do, it will be a great addition to anyones collection!

And I'm glad to hear that your surgeries went well, and you are doing great!

The ulu inspire skinner gets my vote.  Reminiscent of a Nessmuk style knife; I really like it!
