The inaugural Sydney International Knife Show is coming up on 23-24 August 2014
I am making a few skinners for the show..
Here is the first one done (the camera picked up all the scratches that was not seen by eyes  )
Steel 1075 @ 59 HRC
Scale Bull-Oak or Buloke (Allocasuarina Luehmannii)
Buloke is the hardest timber in the world at Janka number 5000+ compared to Lignum Vitae at Janka 4500
Thanks for looking

Great work. I assume it is about 10 " long and 2" at it's widest point?

That would be an excellent skinner! It is kinda pretty to be getting blood all over it though...
Very nice work!
