Just a preview pic as it hasn’t arrived yet but it’s done. Ordered one of Hank’s full size Canadian Skinner models and was fortunate that he had Westinghouse Micarta for the scales. You guys know I love that stuff. I also asked him to try and preserve as much “bark” as possible, taper the tang and add thin red liners.

Guys how awesome is this?

You shame me. I honestly don’t remember the blade stock.

CPM154 stainless steel from Crucible Steel. It was either that or some melted down beer cans…I really can’t remember which it was.

I do the heat treating myself. I don’t send it off for ht. It was hardened and triple tempered, resulting in a hardness of 60.5 Rockwell.

Thank you for the kind words Chris. Hope you get her bloody!

Good looking knife. I like both the simple pins and the Westinghouse

Blade 3”, overall length 7 1/2”. Some have asked for a 3 1/4”-3 1/2” blade and that’s no problem.
