The Boot Skinner knife kit is a very high quality modern boot knife/skinner combo design. This design works well as a compact skinner knife (with traditional handle treatment) or as a utility knife (with a tactical handle treatment). This knife kit model is 6.00 inches overall with a 2.75 inch skinner blade. It comes standard with 420 stainless steel bolsters and matching 420 stainless steel bolster pins. The blade thickness on the Boot Skinner is 0.117 inches. It feels great in the hand. The blade is constructed from high-performance AUS8 stainless steel and is hollow-ground. This skinning knife design features (2) 0.125 inch bolster holes, (2) 0.156 inch tang holes (stainless steel handle pinstock included) and a 0.250 inch thong hole for optional use (stainless steel thong hole tubing included).
This version of the Boot Skinner is the combo kit with slab cut handle scales. It comes with the Boot Skinner blade, plus (2) Curly Maple handle scale slabs and stainless steel pinstock to simplify the completion process. This is a great project for a weekend knife making session. Spend some quality workshop time with this knife kit and enjoy the fun of custom knife making and customization.
