Description:
Jean Tanazacq's "DEPIAUTEUR" is nonetheless than a skinner with a 3-inch blade from 440-C steel stock and micarta handle with a single brass guard and matching brass butt cap. This small knife with its very pointed tip, sharp curve, offers amazing handling capabilities. While it is short and light, it can be easily and quickly "forgotten," but will be present when needed. When it comes to a small utility and skinning models it is Tanazacq's best-seller t8 these days. This model has been used worldwide by professional hunters and guides, as a great performance tool. Who's is Jean Tanazacq? France's most renowned and best maker when it comes to making "using" knives for the past four decades with an aggressive cutting edge and not show pieces, yet, he makes extraordinary handcrafted knives that sets him apart from any others makers while offering knives of unique shapes, designs that offers beauty and excellence. You'll be very impressed. Its purpose and final destination is truly specific in order to mainly strip any trophies on the ground so that no flesh remains attached to the skin, in order to avoid rotting that will occurs very quickly in Africa because of extreme moisture and heat and customers waiting time in the airport areas. Normally, people may have an temptation to entrust this delicate task to professional trackers but it is often the case when insufficient know-how and hardness of the sharp tool used, leads to piercing the skins, which makes them much less valuable if not practically impossible to sell and spoil any trophies. Large hunts chartered by professional taxidermists to carry out the wok on-site such by Mr. Michel Vallier France's largest taxidermist, with whom Tanazcaq worked specifically to develop such remarkable tool (see picture # 1 and # 3 ) because the scalpels and razors are quickly out of use based on mud, sand, splinters, bones and others various elements. The blade's shape was exclusively retained by Mr. Vallier which does not preclude the requirement for frequent re-sharpening in the field. This skinner cuts in about half to three-quarter oh an inch from the tip, the rest of the blade only serves as an aesthetic of a filed product. The knife was tested by the maker before shipping. His outfit must conform to picture # e which is the correct way to use such knife. It is an extremely difficult knife to produce ( Tanazacq yearly production does not exceed 100-115 knives) and its price is not based for being a small knife but to the difficulty in producing it. There will be several knives to be listed from this amazing maker in the near future. Overall length is 6-7/8-inches. Price paid was 451 EUROS = $563.75 without shipping from France. Picture # 9 denotes an "older" model from 1984. Picture # 10 is the proper way to hold and use such model. You are actually getting the one held by the maker,(picture sent prior to shipping it).
