A special trailing point hunter...

[J. Doyle]

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 knife! Very good fit and finish and I really dig the shape of the blade.
