Finished up two s30v Skinners both are similar knives first one in buffalo horn and nickel silver, 2nd is in blue and black g-10 with stainless steel bolsters and nickel silver pins. I love s30v stainless steel this stuff will hold a keen edge these blades are 59HRC just about perfect if you ask me.

8" total, 3 3/8" blades

This one is buffalo horn.






This one is blue and black g-10

Ask and you shall receive. But these two were sold several months ago just getting around to finish them. I'm about to start grinding on s30v blanks so if you want in on the batch let me know.

Very nice, I like the arrow! Is that inlaid or is it on the spine? It's hard to tell with the black around it.

it is hand filed in the spine of the knife, then back filled with dyed epoxy, sanded smooth. I was not 100% happy with the arrow but it's hand made right...lol.

Looks good to me, I've filed some in some 1/8 home depot steel I need more practice before I try it on a knife.

not sure what files you are using but if you have not made one yet take a triangle file and grind one side off on your belt sander, the non cutting side will help you with your flat cuts as the corner will cut down the the side will stay flat, use it to cut the flats sides behind your arrow heads and the angles behind and in front of the fletching, not sure if this makes sense if not pm me and I will try and explain, unless you have already figured this out.

That makes perfect sense, I'll try it! Thanks.
