    Oh I thought it was one of johns creations.
    I am wondering how it would go if the blade was 5" or so. Would it make it look strange

    Well my current skinning knife and also general use knife and 5.75and 5.5 inches respectively. Skinning a castle beast or similar would be fairly slow with a smaller knife.

    Would it though?? Be interested in comment on people who have used big v small skinner. I have used a smaller one on deer and it actually made it easier to move around. Just my thoughts. If ya Gunna do it once do it right. Could always send to you to try??

    Have definitely found a blade around the 5" a more useful all round blade than the 3.5-4" ones I have (I'm talking thinner blades here, not some of the fatter skinners you run into)

    Really nice looking knife, I must get back in touch with you John... Particularly now that you are just about up and running.

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
