Maple Skinner

Here is a new skinner. Based on the Schrade design. Handle is flamed maple and has beetle kill in it. Thats what gives it the extra colors. It is extremely hard but polishes nice and smooth. I did something different with the dowels. They are made from a 3/16 Allen wrench. This blade went for $200. I'm having a hard time keeping up with demand. If you are interested in a blade shoot me an email. Aaron@BlueCollarBikeWerks.com

Bowie Knife

I didn't make this knife... yet...  I have been collecting knives as long as I can remember.  This is a Gil Hibben Bowie.  The blade is 14 inches long!  According to the paperwork that came with the knife it is comparable dimensionally to what they carried back in the 1800's.  I have some pretty big spring leafs... when I get a chance I'm gonna try to knock one of these bad boys out.
