3 1/2" Ebony Hunter

[irbailey]

Just finished this one, as the title says - 3 1/2" blade, brass and fibre spacers and ebony handle on a 2" stub tang.
Any comments good or bad regarding knife or photography are very much appreiciated.
Thank you for looking.
Regards, Ian

I like it. I'm fond of smaller fixed blades and that one looks great. Spacers are nice touch. I say, well done, irbailey.

Too much handle for that little blade; it looks off balanced to me. I also do not care for brass on knives. As a whole it is a beautiful knife.

Hi Ian,

Good looking pieces. You should be proud.

If you have access to a polarizer on your lens, try it. You can draw out the grain more instead of the nice polish.

Outside of that, you are doing just fine.

Very nice. That blade doesn't look anywhere near 3 1/2". What is the overall length?

 

[irbailey]

I apologise to you all! The blade is 3" and the handle is 4 1/8".
I know exactly what you're saying regarding handle/blade proportions, but this was ordered as a user, its hard work when you want to put some pressure behind it and that little finger has nowhere to go!
It would have looked better with a handle nearer 3", but I don't believe asthetics should come before function, hence it was made to fit the hand.
Thank you all for your comments.
Regards, Ian
