I have. He used mostly ATS-34 steel. It did fine, if we’re talking “top 5” makers, I much prefer George Herron’s blades. My blades? They’re a little farther down the line but they work too.
That's pretty neat Hank, which pattern was it the dropped point or the semi-skinner or ?
what is your favorite design that you produce for gutting, skinning and quartering a deer ?
Drop point hunter. I actually have his drop point hunter “outline” or profile that could be used to make an actual duplicate. I wouldn’t dare do it though. It’s collectible as is and wouldn’t be too cool to do so in my book. I’ve made some drop point hunters just like his in the past, as well as chute knives. But….they were my own design. Additionally, I’m 100% sure that wasn’t his only profile of that model so it can’t be claimed to be his only one, so to speak.
My Canadian skinner is by far my best seller. Check out my Instagram and you’ll see numerous pictures of that model. My Instagram is Doublehknives.
