A Wedding Present for a couple that hunts

J.D. · May 16, 2009

Here are a couple of knives that I just finnished as a present for my cousin and his Bride to be. I wanted to match their wedding colors,whitch are Black and Ivory. The larger one is my Pro Hunter, made of O1 tool steel, 5/32" thick, with Water Buffalo horn handle and Nickel Silver pins and bolsters, it is for the Groom. The smaller one is a 10% reduction of my Pro Hunter, in 1/8" O1, and Fabricated Antique Ivory from Jantz Supply, and Nickel Silver pins and bolsters. Both are mirror polished. This smaller knife needs a name, and I was thinking "The Lady Pro Skinner" as it is for the bride. The couple is going on a hog hunt for their Honeymoon and I hope these two knives get to go as well.
Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

Looks like they're going to get to use those two right away. What a great wedding present. They look good.

Very nice finish on both. I would love to take a knife like that hog hunting. They are very lucky.

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. The sheaths are giving me fits, as usual, I don't like sheath making.

Ha hA, I think very few knifemakers like to make sheaths, I seem to put it off till the very last minute.

Great looking blades, Dale!
That faux ivory turned out beautiful.

In addition to well-deserved compliments, I'll add a name you might want to consider for the smaller, ivory model, especially if you're also interested in the marketing aspect:
Pro Hunter Slim. It takes sex out of the equasion (no guy wants a "girly" knife), accurately describes the difference and manages to add a bit of compliment to the potential purchaser--male or female.-- Just a thought. Again, nice work.
