Antlered handled drop point skinner

[Eddie Mullins]

This was a Christmas gift for my father n law this year. Its just my 2nd full tang knife, new 5160 blade and mild steel fittings. I didn't have a disc sander for the first one, it made lots of difference for fitting the handle to the guard and pommel. I managed a pretty good fit, but can see some black die and black spacer material being added to my tool box. I also tried to follow Ed Caffrey's technique for press fitting the guard to the blade and think it worked well for me.

Wow, just your second? Very nice job... I did one about 6-7 years ago, had so much trouble with it I said I would never attempt another. I have been rethinking that lately
and really would like to give it a try. I was given a nice piece of Stag in the Christmas exchange I may give it a try

God bless
