"Black Creek" Hunter

[RMLamey]

Just built this for Jim Gainey, "Black Creek" Bows. Forged 1095 blade, 4-1/4" long x 1-3/8" wide x 3/16" at thick at ricasso. Handle is Desert Ironwood, stainless guard. Differentially heat treated using clay, 400 grit belt finish, light etch to show hamon.

I dont make as many hunters as Bowies/Fighters/Choppers, but I think im going to do more of them in the future.

Any how, just wanted to post a few pics, nothing special, thanks!

Matt Thats sweet crisp and clean. I find that at the most shows little hunters and skinners are a good thing to have on the table.
