The steel is forged out and folded 5 times to give you 416 layers. Look at the layers! 416.....now that is what I am talking about...the overall length is 7-1/4" with a 3-1/8" blade sharp as a tack too! I made the handle out of Snakewood with Yellowheart spacers next to the blade and the rivets were nickel plated but I wanted to match the yellowheart so I sanded the plating off to get to the brass color...ain't she sweet?
That's beautiful. The sharp finger is one heck of a skinning knife.
They're sweet looking Pappy. Are they for sale? If so, PM with specifics. Thx.

So, like $105? ;D
If you have $100 in materials plus your time plus artistic value that is a $300 knife.
The is by far my favorite knife shape for cleaning birds.
Alabama damascus is some great steel.great job on the handles..
Glade to see they got them a Sharpe fingers stamping die .
Wow. That's amazing.
