Some friends have a Hunting/Fishing supply store and I did a couple of skinning knives for them to stock to see if they have a market. I ordered 2 Laredo Skinner kits from Texas Knives. If I do more I will not get the kits, only blades. I used a piece of curly Walnut for one knife and Padauk for the other.
The blades are treated to Rockwell C 58/59, 9" overall length, blade length is 4 3/4", 1" wide and 5/32" thick.
Question for the hunters. What is a ballpark price range for a knife with a blade of this quality?
First, using 3/8" thick stock trace the tang onto the stock and rough cut the scale out.
then one at a time use the holes in the tang to drill the holes for the brass pins. Then using epoxy glue and clamp the scales to the tang.
Rough sand to shape,
Then final sand/file/cuss to a decent looking and comfortable handle.
Thanks for looking.
