Here's another trailing point hunter that is a prototype for a project I have coming up in the near future. This one even has a guard. ;) :) Never having cared much for trailing points in the past, these are starting to be kind of fun and there will probably be more coming down the road.

Specs:

Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched
8 3/8" overall, 4" blade, .190" thick at the ricasso with nice distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
German silver guard and spacer
American black walnut handle

All comments and discussion welcome.

Beautiful clean lines.
A recent convert to trailing point knives in later years myself, I now find them surprisingly versatile.
 
Thank you guys for the comments. A lot of makers and collectors here that I look up to. Thanks for taking the time to post.
 
VERY nice hunter. I like everything about it and the hamon is killer!

Interesting rounds in the picture...not familiar with those.

Nice little hunter. 1075 is a great performing steel with great hamon potential that doesn't get the credit it deserves. Good job!
