In this Pop's Project of the Month, knife maker Walter Sorrells shows YOU how to make a simple skinning knife. The knife demonstrated in this video is based on a pattern laser cut from 1084 steel. By starting with this pattern, the blade can be made using simpler equipment and time can be saved, allowing beginners to get a foothold in this exciting hobby.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

@Rprecision 2 ай бұрын

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?

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

@grnsouth1204 2 ай бұрын

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.
