Small damascus skinner that was going great until I tried to use mosaic pins that were too large and cracked the scales and tried to fix it. Oh well...pretty awesome piece of green dyed Maple burl for scales here.

Here is a Damascus skinner with Waterfall Bubinga scales and mosaic pins.

All blanks are pre-made by American companies. They are assembled by me and all the sheaths are handmade and tooled by me. Thanks for looking!

Those are wild!  Looks like a lot of us are going to be carrying a "bushcraft" knife in the woods this fall!
