Just finished up this skinner. It's based on a Western knife my uncle gave me shortly before he passed. I'll post a pic of both below. He carried that knife while enlisted in the Army during the Korean war.
Blade is 52100 high carbon heat treated to 59 HRC. Handle is a stabilized English walnut bolster with stabilized ambrosia maple, scales. About 4.5 inch cutting edge with a 9.5 inch overall length.

Here they are both together.

Thanks guys.
Still need to polish and strop the final edge but usually do that after sheath making. If I come up with a neat sheath that matches her personality I'll post an update pic.
