Mike Conner of Conner Knives made this beautiful skinner for my son. It's ladder pattern damascus with mosaic pins, file work and a mesquite burl handle. The craftsmanship is absolutely perfect and Mike went above and beyond to make my son feel like he was getting a special tool that he'll use for a lifetime. Anyone looking for an heirloom quality knife that's made to be used, should give Mike a call. https://www.connerknives.com
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

Make real sure he does not take it to school to show it off. Me and Mike were talking about that yesterday. We both carried pocket knives to school and used them on woodshop class. Those days are over.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

I gave my son a tiny 1" Swiss Army knife. He took it after promising me he wouldn't. It was a major event to straighten it out. He got three days in bad kid school, I got the knife back.

That's a tough break for the kiddo. Sounds like he was just proud of the gift his dad gave him and wanted his buddies to see. My son has been carrying his Spyderco for a while and he's been very responsible with it, so I feel like he'll do fine with another knife.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

I have prob gutted 15 hogs and around 8 deer with mine. I can do multiple of both without sharpening. When I do need to sharpen or touch up it's a breeze and it back to razor sharp. Love mine.

I'm gonna order the same one for myself. I love ladder pattern damascus. I also love raindrop pattern. Maybe I'll order a couple lmao.

Man, I ran that knife over my ultra fine stone a couple times and that joker will split a hair. Excellent steel.

I'm glad he's pleased with it. Love seeing the look on youngsters faces when they get their first nice knife.
