Title: Gnat Skinning Knife
Post by: 4est Trekker on May 16, 2012, 02:46:12 am

Here's a micro skinner for dressing and caping gnats, skeeters, and spiders :)  Actually, it's a handy little "bugger."  It's forged from 1080 with a leather handle wrap that has been glued and Massey-finished.  The leather thong is leather and bone.  The neck sheath lanyard is hand-laid linen.  Thanks for looking!

Hmmm... Anyone ever use gnat skin as a bow backing?

That is one tiny knife. I bet it's crazy sharp to. When I was a kid my Dad had a switch blade that was all of 2 inches long open, and it was as sharp as a scalpel. Very nice knife you have there.
