One of Russ Kommer's favorite custom knife/sheath packages is the
2-Shot™. He has used it daily in the field as a hunting guide in Alaska
and around the world. Russ says, "I've always preferred a smaller
semi-skinner, even for the biggest of game. You just use the hump near
the end of the blade to locate your index finger. And the blade is short
enough that you can work inside the animal and feel where you are at all
times."
The skinner has a full-tang fixed blade of 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel
with stainless steel bolsters, both mirror polished for ease of
cleaning. Hand-finished orange G10 handles are fitted with stainless
steel pins. Blade length is 3.15".
Russ explains the sheath; "For me, a horizontal sheath makes getting
around easier. It doesn't interfere with your rifle or back pack waist
strap, and it's not always banging the bush plane, pickup, or fouling
the pack horse guide rope. I've been making two-shell custom sheaths for
years. I never carry a box of shells out of camp . . . usually just a
magazine and the two cartridges in my sheath. They won't rattle around,
and the two pockets will handle ammunition from .243 up to .338. No
matter what happens, you'll always have those two shells to get you
home."
The sheath is convertible for left or right carry.
