I thought I would do a work in progress post on the buffao skinner knife to show the various steps involved in the process of getting a knife ready to send off to "you".
Like all my blades to date this one starts out as a length of bar stock and with a good cut off disc in the angle grinder get it cut out to within a 1/6 to an 1/8 of the scribed lines (depending on the curves involved).
