Nicholson file skinner with gut hook
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9o15z4gw90...%2004.jpg?dl=0
This is only the 3rd knife I have made. Please let me know what you like and don't like and what I need to work on. The handle is Purple Heart wood. Last edited by Dmc87; 04-30-2016 at 12:32 PM. |

I'll agree with Rob, interesting concept. I've never been a fan of the gut hook but having it on the other end might work.

Heck of an idea. I have never made a gut hook. Purple Heart is one of my fav's.
Well done. |

I thought it unusual. I love Nicholson files for knives and have two ready and annealed for grind. How did you heat treat it? I like a workable gut hook, but they need a ceramic rod to keep sharp. Is that what you use?

How do you plan to carry it?
I can see that one getting out of the sheath in the woods (at least where I hunt/fish). jimmontg - where 'bouts in W NC? (I spend a good bit of time west of Murphy). __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

Thanks guys. I started with a diamond rod and cleaned it up with a ceramic on the gut hook. Heat treat was 3 rounds of normalization then an edge quench and for tempering I submerged edge in water and used torch to draw back the spine. As far as carrying I was going to slide it in the boot. With a pant leg over it so it wouldn't get snagged on a limb or any thing.
