Shot a decent 10 pointer bow hunting today and got to try out one of Tim's semi-spear point skinners. Knife did great. Gutted, skinned, deboned and then rough trimmed the meat on a buck that field dressed at 176 lbs. It's ready for a touch up now, but it did very well. Thanks again Tim, bludog ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/nkr8Lif.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/0n9YOra.jpg)

Thanks and it's back to shaving sharp after 10 strokes per side with an 800 grit and 10 strokes per side with the strop. A couple of minutes max. Meat's on ice, and now it's the wife's turn, and I'm waiting for rifle season, or may go for a turkey while she's still bow hunting. We've got a couple of really nice big bucks out there, and it's time to be really choosy. We are very blessed.

Well done. Like the others said nice buck and knife.
A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.

Well done. I owe Tim a review on one of his M4 blades that I'll get to soon as I kill my elk...

Thanks you guys, this was my first bow kill. I've missed a couple and unfortunately hit a couple with my compound that I didn't recover. And after a target session in August, it was obvious my 59 year old right shoulder was not interested in pulling a compound bow anymore, so I went with the crossbow.
I'll be interested in your review Journeyman. I'm kind of interested in the "supersteels", but the mini-Griptilian in 154 CM has been a great EDC and this knife from Tim did a LOT of cutting Saturday, a LOT. And yeah, it needed to be sharpened afterwards, but it literally took less than 2 minutes to get it back shaving sharp. Hope to give it a lot more use in the coming months and years.
