While back Vince listed a Mike Miller knife with some vintage micarta scales. Old Louisiana shipyard micarta. 1950’s era. Asked Mr Mike to make another skinner with that. Mail lady dropped it off yesterday. This stuff is gorgeous. Mike made another great one. Dave �The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it.� Lou Holtz

I think 3/32” is the ticket. I’ve got a several in that thickness. I don’t pry or chop or baton or pull nails or split coconut shells. Pure coincidence, that pattern is very similar to a Winston #43/45. Dave �The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it.� Lou Holtz
