Finished a new Skinning Knife

Just wrapped up this skinning knife a fella asked me to make out of damascus and spalted maple with fancy pins and hand filed work along the entire spine and handle - pleased with the finished shape and this thing should cut like a razor - just wanted to share. I have a few similar blades I'm toying with right now and just trying to decide what woods/bone I want to use for the handles.

Thanks guys! I get some of my woods from Texas Knifemaker supplies and others I find through hardwood dealers online. Most of it, you have to see "potential" in because you really can't tell what it's going to look like until it hits the buffing wheel and then it really comes to life!
