154 CM and mesquite semi-skinner
This knife is a one-off, a design I've never done before. Not sure I'll make another. It's kind of like the bullnose skinner I've done several of, but built off of 1 x 3/32 stock instead of the usual 1 1/4 x 3/16 stock for that knife. Overall length is 7 inches with a 2 5/8 400 grit hand finished blade of CM154 steel at RC 60. My heat treat and dry ice cryo. The knife has satin finished, dovetailed 416 SS bolsters and a nice thin tapered tang. The handle is stabilized spalted mesquite from my neighbor's front yard. The sheath is my work as well, from Wickett and Craig leather.
Front side, sheath  Back side  Dovetails, tapered tang  Bottom side, plunges

I would be knocking on my neighbors door often if he has that kind of wood laying around. I imagine it doesn't need stabilizing. Very nice knife too!

Sweet. I love the looks of a bull nose on a skinner.

Looks like it would make a nice whittler too. Nice work
