Howdy folks, Two Feathers here:
Here’s another of my Beaver Tail skinning knives. That I said "I'll NEVER make another of."
I changed my original design to this new “hybrid” design. It combines the shape of my Nessmuk blade with the rounded tip of my original Beaver Tail skinner to produce a new “Hybrid” shape that seems to be better than my original?
The price is $200.00 shipped and insured to any of the 50 actual United States.
The overall length is 7-1/2”, the 1095 high carbon steel blade measures 4” long by 1-1/8” wide at the widest point. The blade is razor sharp all the way around 90% of the tip! The whole design concept was to make for faster skinning of Beaver or any animal, with minimal or NO holes in the hide. So far, I’m told this knife design works really well. The handle is Osage Orange. The scales are pinned on with (2) 1/8” Iron pins. The handle is sanded and buffed. The longer this wood is exposed to sunlight, the more Golden Honey color it will become. Osage Orange is an ideal wood for knives exposed to a lot of moisture and wet environments. Its oily/waxy nature makes it naturally water resistant. There are stories of Osage Orange fence posts in Texas that have been in the ground for a hundred + years with no signs of decay. This is natures “bullet proof” building material.
The sheath is made of 6 oz. vegetable tanned tooling leather. It’s dyed Medium Brown in color. It has been hand saddle stitched. It has a belt loop that will take a 2-3/4” wide belt. The belt loop is saddle stitched down as well. The knife sets deep enough into the tight fitting sheath that it won’t fall out. The sheath has a front cover of real tanned Beaver Tail hide and an apron along the throat of Gold; smoke tanned, buckskin which has been stitched along the opening. The buckskin helps protect the knife handle from the tough Beaver Tail hide and gives a very nice PC look. I haven't signed the sheath yet, but I will before I ship it.
The entire sheath has been treated with sealer for more moisture protection. The sheath also has a welt to protect the stitches from the blade. Furthermore this is an ambidextrous sheath. It can be worn Right OR Left handed!
This knife will get you admiring looks, inquisitive questions, and requests for its use. Hang on to it; it’s a Two Feathers knife. Besides skinning, it will cut patches, peel spuds, cut your steak, and dress any game you shoot or trap. This ain’t yer Granddaddy’s “huntin’ knife.”
I ship/sell to Canada, but my prices are all in USD$.
I prefer PayPal. Please, use the PayPal friend’s option, but will take MO’s or checks. MO’s will add 1 week for travel time. Checks will add 1 week for travel AND 1 week for bank clearance. I only ship on Tuesdays and Fridays. The exceptions would be PO hours and extreme weather.
If interested PM me here. As always, thanks for looking.
God bless:
