What style knife blade is this?

[Sniper338]

Im trying to figure out what these shape blades are called... Maybe some of you know...? I want these two shapes in damascus steel blanks to finish out for myself... Ive looked up both of them from names on the pictures but no leads, and they just sell finished knives..

Im looking for these in 5 to 6 inch blade blanks... Any leads to finding these are appreciated!

looks like a sharpfinger skinner style

I have several of this style made by Old Timer. If I remember right it's a "trailing point skinner" style. Great little knives for skinning and caping.

Not sure about the style. But overall, it looks decent and unique. Most of the knife is straight and don't have any angle. But this one is different. I like it.

Definitely an Old Timer. I have one with black scales that they gave out with a year's subscription to Guns & Ammo way back.

Plus one on the Old Timer Skinner. Been using that style since the 70's. Perfect blade design.

The top photo is an Old Timer Sharpfinger copy. The design is simply an upswept blade. The original Old Timer design was "famously" carried by Sonny Barger. You can purchase Damascus blanks and grind them to the shape you desire. A blank is not pre-ground to shape. If you are new to blade grinding, you would be much better off by practicing on a cheaper blade material.

Many, many years ago, Guns & Ammo offered these with a subscription:

I've carried a Schrade Sharp Finger for decades. I have different skinning knives (Green River style) and different butchering knives (several different styles), but it's the only field dressing knife I ever carry. I have three of them and thinking about getting a couple more. Schrade calls it a "Clip Point Skinner" blade.

Thanks for the info. After hours of aearching I found a few! Yes old timer makes the style, Ive seen it in person, and used one, my uncle has one. Thats where I got hooked on this design haha

The design (according to BD) is a modified miniature version of a Persian Fighting knife.

Do you have the equipment to make a knife from a blank?
