Russ made a custom hunting knife for one of his good friends. Somehow
through the years that knife became known as Grandpa's Favorite. Now you
can get a knife that is nearly identical to Russ's custom knife from
CRKT.
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. Blade length is 3.15". Model 2845
features traditional stag scales with brass pins.
The sheath Russ designed makes this knife even more unique with the
extra pouch. Russ explains: "For me, a horizontal sheath makes getting
around easier. It doesn't interfere with your rifle or back pack, and
it's not always banging the bush plane or fouling the pack horse rope. 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
pockets will handle ammunition from .243 up to .338.
No matter what happens, you'll always have those two shells to get you
home.
