This is my signature drop point hunter that I have been making for several years with a highly polished finish. This is the orginal two pin version that my wife likes to carry in her purse (dont mess with her). The handle is narrow, about 1/2" to fit a smaller hand than most of my knives. The gentle curve makes this a great cutting knife for most applications. The handle is Amboya Burl with a finish mixture of shellac and carnuba wax which is hot buffed (to melt on) with a high speed buffer. The sheath is hand made with a nice barbed wire pattern, treated with neets foot oil with an antique brown stain. Razor Sharpened at about 15 degrees on each side with a convex edge to give good cutting performance with good edge retention and easy touch up with Spiderco or other fixed angle sharpener.

Steel 1/8 440c
Blade 4.25" Overall 8.25"
Handle Amboya Burl
Brass Pins
Nickel Silver Bolsters

I have several knives I will be clearing out before starting my Christmas run of knives which will be mostly folders.

Price another piece of me finds a new home, happy and sad

Damn! I missed it! Nice potential grab their Bob. A Sharpmaker-friendly custom was something that I was looking for....oh well maybe next time. Great choice on that handle material!
 
Pat, I got home today and the knife was here. Thank you very much. It is very nice and feels great in my hand. It is a very nice addition to my growing collection.

Thanks
