Jigged horn Hunting Skinning Knife

This knife I made awhile back as a custom order to be used
as a large game hunting and skinning knife.  This knife would
also easily handle many field tasks as well.

Knife was made with a blade about 4 1/2" long pattern and
patina aged with hand file worked spine.

Handle is black horn that was jigged by hand.  Brass pins and
rear lanyard hole.

Belt sheath was hand stitched.

Personal Carry Neck knife and completed custom.

Here is a neck knife I have been carrying for awhile now. 
So I have claimed it.  This is the knife I used in one
of my YouTube videos.  This is a handy sized knife for
all sorts of uses.  I have used it for everything from
cutting leather to tomato vines in the garden.  You can
see the blade has developed a nice patina and at 2 inches
in length would work well for trout as well.

The handle is tiger maple at about 3 1/8" long and I tight
stitched some deer skin rawhide on the forward haft.

The neck sheath has some of my free hand tooling on
the face of it,  Trees and mountain scene.

Also from the last post on the blog I showed you a custom knife
that I was working on without the sheath pictures.   Here is
the completed neck sheath posted below.

Thank you

Large Bladed Butcher/Scalper Knife Custom

It would have been nice to see this on video, but I didn't
have the time before I boxed it up for a custom order.

The sweeping  10 1/4" curve on this blade was excellent,
felt great in hand and would serve not only for a great
butcher knife and more.  You can see from the picture
the blade was patina aged as well.

The handle is tiger maple with a ball end grip 3 brass
pins.

Sheath was hand stitched and set up to be worn high
for a left hand cross draw.

I had some time to do a little fishing and thought you would like to see

a couple pictures.  Small mouth bass, at a smaller size but they put

up a decent fight.

Thank you

Happy Fathers Day.
