What is your method for sharpening and what angle?
Thanks

I use and Edge Pro to sharpen most knives. Work down to 600 grit at about 20 degrees and
do a couple swipes on an impregnated leather strop,
Thanks

Well my dad got to see the 5” boning knife in action this weekend and was very impressed. Looking forward to your 2024 batch looks like I’ll be ordering one for him too.

Skinned/quartered a second deer tonight with this years build. Didn’t snap a pic of using it with my boys deer a few weeks ago. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/85Lg0TKR/IMG-0483.jpg) [/url] ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf5Cg7mq/IMG-0488.jpg)

Just sending a batch of blades for heat treat.
I should have and extra blade or two of most patterns shown at the top of this threat.
Be finishing them this winter.
Thanks

I have one 5" Boning knife in the queue for heat treat that is not spoken for yet.
PM me if you want it. Be a few months yet.
Thanks

PMs answered.
No more 5" Boning knives left in this build. I will need to buy more
steel for next build sometime in 2024.
Some other models still open. PM interests and I will review.
Thanks
Tim

Yeah, I am thinking I will carry this model for the deer opener next week. Want to see if it
field dresses and skins as good as I expect it will..

I think it's the Snub Nose or the Bull Nose I've forgotten..
It's not too big and not too small. Great steel and super sharp!
Edit, I found the card Tim sent with the knife and he named it a Small Bull Nose but I might have the first one out the shop.
If the name gets tweaked it won't matter. It's a great knife!
