Well, it ain't here yet. The mail is soooo slow. Anyways...
It's D2 steel, a full 6" cutting edge, orange G10 with 1/4" black G10 liners. Should be a sweet skinner for sure. It's the bid brother to this one I already own:
I got to try the knife out a little this fall.
A friend of mine shot his first buck:
It carved through the little buck like a hot knife through butter...kinda felt like I was cheating:
A couple weeks ago I killed this medium sized bull moose and gave the knife a real test:
Me, making meat:
Nicks knife was scary sharp all the way through the process, and I still havent sharpened it. I'm afraid I might mess it up! If it keeps up like this I won't have to worry about it for a few more animals. So far it's been awesome and has become my go to blade .
Went out this last weekend and found another job for the knife - Bull musk ox. The hair and hide on these things makes them a real challenge for skinning. I ended up touching up the blade near the end of the job with a ceramic stick. I'm not sure if it was getting harder to cut because of fatigue or the edge. Seemed to work like normal after though. When I get a chance at home I'm going to run it on the strop. I'm very happy with it. Seems to fit the bill for what I need a knife to do in this area. Enjoy the pics.
It's been pretty quiet on here lately. I just wanted to let folks know that I spoke to Nick the other day, he's alive and doing well . I hope to have another sweet blade from him sometime this summer.
I'm pretty sure it's been posted before, but if someone wanted to get in contact with him, his email is nwahome15@yahoo.com.
