I'm with you Frank.  I might call it more of an upturned skinner, but whatever you call it...it's a winner.  Doesn't matter if they give you a prize for it or not.  Very cool!

Looks very comfortable to use too.  

Well done.

Are you going to do a braided leather or some of that cool frontier leather work you do for the lanyard hole and scabbard?

Sticshooter.
I'm new to the whole knife building thing so this may be a dumb question but how do you get the pitted look to the knives you are doing. (this one and the other 2 that are on the other post near this one).
I like the look of it with the slick handles andpolished edges.
