My brother-in-law wants a decent skinning knife and asked me to try to find one for him (he's not a computer user).
He didn't really have many hard & fast specs to offer other than "It needs to have good steel that keeps an edge, a blade not more than 4-4.5" and handmade would be neat."
I tried to draw out a blade shape to see what kind he liked, looks like a basic skinner shape will suffice, no gut hook, etc. And he has a small hand like mine, so huge, thick scales are out.
Any suggestions or LA places to start?
