Semi-Skinner

[Jerry Shorter]

I thought some of you might like to see my version of a Seim-Skinner.

Blade steel is D2 at 61-62 Rockwell
Fittings are 303 stainless and engraving stock
The wood? sorry I just don't know for sure; but I think it is fiddleback maple.
The grip is very comfortable.

Thanks for looking, Jerry

Very nice, one of my favorite bkade shapes. I really like the grind line on this one.

[Robert Mayo]

Nice grind on that one, good looking knife.

the wood looks more like sycamore or cherry than it does maple. nice looking knife.

[Jerry Shorter]

Robert, thanks for the look I appreciate it. I forgot to mention it is a hollow grind

Shakudo: I'm sure its not cherry, but it could be sycamore ( I couldn't tell a piece of sycamore from a bag of peanuts) I did a search but couldn't find a pic so your guess is proably better than mine. Thanks for the kind words.

Very nice , I love the grind and the blade shape , I'd say full skinner , IMHO , great job , thanks for showing us.

[Jerry Shorter]

Hi Dwane. I appreciate the comments, I use the term "semi" because the upward sweep is cut off like the typical Semi Skinner. Thanks for lookin'

Very nice. I especially like the handle. Looks like it would be very good for actual use. Don't see any solder on the guard/ricasso joint. Is it just really really good solder job, or did you use epoxy?

Nat.

[Jerry Shorter]

Nat, Thanks for looking The guard is press fitted and then soldered.
