This is one of my compact guardless hunters. It is a full sized utility blade but still quite compact. A good slicer but plenty capable to handle rougher work. I like how the bronze visually breaks up the dark blade and handle and the various patterns in each.

Specs:
Hand forged from 80CrV2 steel with mustard patina
8 3/8" overall length, 4" blade, .195" thick at the ricasso with full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
Rounded filed thumb grip
File cut and fullered bronze collar
Premium curly/quilted tiger maple handle, stained black and oil finished
Bronze checkered finial bolt

All comments and discussion welcome.

You know how much I like your knives, John-really liking this one, too. The materials and colors all together make this one especially fun to look at and try to see all the different details. Thanks so much for sharing it.
