Probably, will really only take an hour or so to do, but like John Worthington says, if you are closer to him then the post will be easier that way, I'm in Auckland.

Mate, I can always use sandpaper, I go through it like a duck through water, what sort of a skinning knife are you after, shape and size?
I have a few that are part made, one fully finished and lots of spare steel in either 3 mm or 4 mm, if you have a specific shape in mind I can make it, or you can see what I have underway.
Oops!
Should arrive by Friday next week.

So the knife arrived early last week, and I managed to squeeze a short goat hunt in on the weekend, bagging a couple of nannies. I have to say that the little scandi is an excellent little boning knife, much more compact and way lighter than my Duel. Definitely a keeper. The blade length is 3.775" (96mm) which is the same as the Gunny Hunter, Classic Drop Point Hunter, or Loveless Drop Point hunter in BRK's range if you have one of those, or 1/2" shorter than the Fox River. I think for boning out an animal, the length was excellent. For post processing the meat ready for the curry, the blade could do with being 6" like the Duel, but hey, that just an excuse to keep the knife numbers up! It processed one goat into the bowl without issue.
Oh, and the scandi/convex grind makes for a very fast slicer.

For anyone interested in, or considering buying a Bark River, here is a table of some to the dimensional spec's on the hunting type designs that I have put together as part of my own deliberations regarding which ones to buy. Might be helpful (probably not).

I'm ashamed to say that I have 13 of those on your list @hotbarrels, and another 17 BR that aren't on the list.
And I thought I was bad!
