If you refer to the first post in this thread, you will see this pattern as a Lite Semi Skinner.
S35VN steel and approx. .100" thick stock. Thanks Tim
PS: I believe that colodog talked me out of that one. It was a first off that I was playing with before making it a permanent pattern.

Hey Tim
What do you have planned for the 2024 build options?
I got my 2023 build bloody last weekend and it is sweet.
Thanks Dave

G what is the top knife? Do you happen to have any more pictures of it? OK here are the latest two from Tim The one you inquired about Tim calls the "Lite Semi Skinner" I am very impressed with it, to put it mildly, and expect it to get quite a bit of use in the future. The second Tim calls the "Snub Nose"knife. I have not used it yet. Best, GWB

GW, those are beautiful and functional. Super nice. That snub nose will be a deer skinning assassin.

Used my MI slim on a buck and a doe the last few days. Did a wonderful job. Great pattern.
I like the looks of that lite semi skinner a lot

Thanks for the reports. I have not yet had a chance to field test the Lite Semi Skinner but I figure it to do multiple jobs very well. Tim

Another thanks to Tim for his Lite Semi Skinner. I used this yesterday (11/20/23) to skin a whitetail. Brought a big smile to my face using this laser cutter. Knife is bottom one in pic.
