Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Couple knives I bought from Bill Goat Gruff

I had Billy Goat Gruff make a couple of knives for me. I wanted them to be matching knives. One for me and one for my son for his graduation from University of Wyoming. I wanted a rustic look with the forge marks left in it. He ha some mesquite to use for the grips scales.

WOW, was I ever pleased with the results. He nailed the look I was looking for. My son absolutely loves his as well and they are sharp as anything.

So obviously, when I picked them up, we got talking knives and he showed me a skinner he had just finished made from a farriers rasp. Well, there goes more of my money, I just had to have that one as well. Love the look and how it feels in the hand. Hope to give it a good workout this winter during trapping season.

Top one is my sons. Middle is mine, bottom is the skinner I just had to take home with me.



The mesquite knots almost look like faces in the wood. And even the grips kind of match with location of the knots

I was really tickled to make you guys a father/son set. They should give you guys many years of good service.

I’m glad you talked me out of that skinner, I’m going to make more like that. Was taking apart some sheds I had stashed looking for the right sized pieces last night actually.

Nice knives BGG!
