I'm with Pat!  Very nice!  Mini ulu style!  Should be a great little skinning tool!

P.S.  I think there should be a bit more finger room under the handle, though! IMHO

Looks really neat, like the design.

I have to ask...how do you hold/grip it?  Looking at it makes me want to do sort of a pinch grip with the handle as indexing and support.

AHA!  Comes the light!  Still trying to master the ulu, though!

Both of them look great! They'd make good cigar cutters also.
