AEB-L and Redwood Hunter

[i4Marc]

A very nice return customer from the other side of the world asked for a hunter/edc with some specific features. We worked out the details and I got to work. I'm not going to say how long I took to get it done but it's fair to say the client is a patient man. Before it left for its new home it needed to make one more stop. As usual, Coop (aka Babe Ruth) knocked it out of the park. Thoughts welcomed.

Blade Steel: AEB-L Steel, finished to 800X
Blade Length: 5.5" to the guard
Guard: 416SS with copper, coined and fluted spacers
Handle: Stabilized Lace Redwood with domed copper pin and copper lanyard tube
OAL: 10.5"
Sheath: Hand stitched two tone leather with pig skin lining and custom domed copper studs

Excellent, his patience was rewarded.
I like the copper on the sheath and lanyard to match the pin.

Beautiful work!

That's beautiful. Very "organic" lines flowing throughout.

Woo! Wee! That's nice your customer is going to be very happy I'd say. That wood is awesome as well as the added touches.

 

[J. Doyle]

Really nice Marc.

That is a great piece. Everything works together perfectly.

Shape, wood grain/pattern, coined spacer, copper in the pin/guard/sheath and lanyard.

Some one is a very lucky owner to have that piece.

It's a pleasure capturing ALL my client's work, but it's ESPECIALLY rewarding when I can spend time with them in the studio. It's a rare and limiting treat. Marc only lives 45 mins from me and took the drive.

We wore our masks, and went through the process. Yes, this knife is easily as nice in hand as my always-flattering photos look.

Thank you Marc. Congratulations to the owner.

Thanks to everybody for the kind remarks. And thank you Jim for allowing me into your home and studio, especially in these strange times. You are most gracious in sharing your time and the details of your process. It was fun to watch you work.

That is wonderful and I love the lines of your blade/handle...

 

[Matthew Gregory]

Killed it, man. Killed it.
