Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Once again, thanks to the campfire

I finally decided it was time to get a skinner and struck out when I checked in with Gene Ingram to see if he had a skinner available (I know, it's a longshot, but I picked up another of his knives that way without a wait). A few folks here had talked about Brad Watkins in Montana, and I figured since he was local to me I'd give it a try.

Brad has something called a Highlands Skinner design that I liked, but I wanted a different steel (Elmax), so a few months ago I checked in with Brad and ordered the knife. It's almost ready and he sent a pic of the nearly-complete knife. If it skins like it looks, the upcoming season is going to be a lot easier for me.

Thanks to all who posted about Brad's work!
