What do you hunters (Andy, etc) think of the specs of the skinner? MM

The skinner doesn't get me going really. But the others... Oh my

HOLY BLEEP....I love some muddy but where I live a moss tan handle will look like you are carrying nothing. I once dropped a moss swamp warden in a giant fern.... so hard to find.

I got very excited about the skinner, even started drooling, then I started reading  ...if it were 1/8 and no choil I would be in love. Love the mudders on that blade shape though...looks great!

Dang it man, I keep telling myself that I got to quit the knife a month club. But so many great releases lately. Need to compare the Chop house specs to the Mountainmandu that I just broke in. I'm sure that I would prefer the Resiprene handle. In regards to the skinner, love Mudder handles but don't care for clip points. Drop points rule for game knives.

Drop points rule for game knives. Excellent observation. My eyes deceived me..as I thought it was a drop point. Dangit!

First off, thank you Dan for a new design, seeing the chophouse makes me all warm and tingly. I prefer a Skinner with more belly, everyone has a preference. Now to decide what thickness of chophouse.

So the Chop House appears to be about the same size as the 911, but may have a little more blade heavy feel with the increased blade height. Smaller than the Mountainmandu's 10"x.280 thickness. Falls in between the Basic 8 and Basic 10. Guess it will be a Chop House Lean Cut for me to mix things up a bit. And Muddy Brown and Tan, One of my favorite new combos to match the Battle Grade ASH.

Could totally see using a lean chop house to hack up a brisket or some ribs. Mmmmhmmmm....

Well the 3/16" 1311 is my most used knife (along with the HRLM) for tactical yardwork. Since I have always wanted Son of 1311 this will do fine. The 3/16 is more than enough for what I use it for and if not...I have other knives. I'm glad Dan has the Tan Handles and finish options, if he can swing that for all upcoming releases it would be great as well MM

3\16 looks like a winner to me. I missed out on the larger 11 series so this should take care of that. Got a basic 8 and ASHBM want some in-between.
