I actually had someone ask me to make them a skinner recently. Only problem is I had no idea what actually made something a “skinner”. I might actually make something similar to this. Thanks for the video. Excellent as always.

Just got a couple 4 ft. Lengths of 3/16ths. X 1.5" 1084 from Pops. Pretty nice stuff and I'm enjoying working it.

I made my first few blades on a Black and Decker PowerFile. I used it two ways, with the blade clamped in the vice or screwed to my bench top, and with the PowerFile clamped in the vice moving the blade over it. I have recently upgraded to a Vevor 2x82 grinder, and modified it to take 2x72 belts, as well as putting the variable speed module into a ‘clip and seal’ type food container, and then put the controller panel onto the lid, sealed with hot glue. It works an absolute treat. Thanks Walter for your review of the Vevor, and your ‘distance education programme’. Cheers from Tassie.

Nice video as always, Walter. Since you're advertising this as an easy beginner-type project, it would be nice to also see you showing how to do it as a beginner, without using all the tools they wouldn't have. Extra video opportunity!

Just... GORGEOUS!!! As a hardcore Hunter, I'm a sucker dor skinners and this one just blown me! Congrats and thanks for sharing 👌👌👍👍

I love that pattern. It would be great in a sheath designed for a back pocket of a pair of jeans.

That sharpness dohickey is so cool. Hope you do a video on it

Awesome video as always!

Just grabbed one of these patterns from Pops yesterday. It's going to be a fun project.

Walter, I enjoy your videos. You are putting out some great information and instructions. You have a fantastic, fully equipped shop with all of the tools that anyone could imagine. The only problem is that so many of your viewers, like myself, are simple "toolshed craftsmen" with garage-sale tools and a homemade forge. Could you sometimes show us how to make a few blades the old-fashioned way ? I liked your magnetic tool holder and might attempt to make one. One other question, please. Why use epoxy when attaching the scales? If they would become damaged or broken, wouldn't it be more difficult to remove them for repair? Thank you.

if you go back through the playlist there are several videos showing the making of a knife using simple tools.

Can’t wait for the sharpness tester video, I’ve been thinking about getting one. POP’s is already my go to and they just keep getting better.

Thanks mate!

Awesome video as always 😍😍

I've really wanted to get into trying the handle taper. it's a really nice effect.

Grinding jig is a great idea!

Band saw blades are probably not often carbide tipied but I figure most saw blades are these days

Love the name 🍁

I love the design, i would be willing to try it in O1, 3V, maybe a fancy stainless. Is pop's going to offer different blade material choices?

30 BESS! That's one sharp puppy!

What do you think of high temperature Paint for stoves and grills, and such rather than the clay never tried it myself

They are high temperature to normal folks. They aren't designed to withstand hardening temperatures. Better to use a product designed for it, or make your own out of satanite clay.

30g on a Bess tester is ABSURDLY sharp, right? 😮
