Here's a new Caper & Skinner pair I just finished up for a gent...
A Small Caper...
This little caper blade is forged from 5160 high carbon steel and done with an antique finish. The blade is flat ground with a convex edge and a slight top bevel on the spine. The contoured guard is stainless steel. The handle is Cocobola wood with a throat of stabilized Honey Buffalo horn and a black spacer. The knife is finished up with a stainless steel pin and lanyard liner. This piece is 7 1/8 overall with a 2 5/8" cutting edge and comes with a tooled leather pouch sheath with a belt loop by Chuck Dominick .
and a Seguine SKinner....
This skinner blade is based on a pattern I came across quite awhile back from a maker that has passed on by the name of M.W. Seguine (Juneau, Alaska). I loved this particular heavy skinner pattern so much I had to try forging something similar in my own style. This skinner has a 4 1/2" blade of 350 layer "double-cut" damascus steel with file-work and top bevel (roughly 10 1/4" overall length). The handle is Desert Ironwood Burl with a throat of Malachite stone, nickle-silver and black spacers, a stainless steel lanyard liner and a guard and threaded pommel of nickle-silver. The knife comes with a tooled leather blade sheath by Chuck Dominick.
