OK Ben, here are a few pics of some of the gear that will be making the trip with me and the CrocHammer handle. Much of the steel/machine work was done by Cooter. Thanks Cooter. Also pictured is a new skinner I purchased as a gift to myself. It is a nice quality handmade knife from a local knifemaker. I've spent a little time dehorning/polishing it so it doesn't bite, and getting it ready for real use. I have never allowed myself to own an expensive knife like this, and my primary skinners are fairly rough working pieces - but are made from killer steel. This one won't be pretty for long, especially once it cleans a few boars and a gator or two. Hopefully it is up to the task and will be around for a long time.
