I'm with Pat!  Very nice!  Mini ulu style!  Should be a great little skinning tool!

P.S.  I think there should be a bit more finger room under the handle, though! IMHO

Looks really neat, like the design.

I have to ask...how do you hold/grip it?  Looking at it makes me want to do sort of a pinch grip with the handle as indexing and support.

Both of them look great! They'd make good cigar cutters also.
