Here's a great hunter from my good bud, Mike Malosh, Forged from a hunk of my damascus with fossil walrus handle. Did some serious work for me this fall/winter.

Here's one of my guardless hunters.

 

A couple from me. Thanks for the opportunity, Peter.

 

Here's the best one I did this year. W2, sheep horn, browned mild steel fittings.

 

#1: J. Doyle- Amboyna Burl Hunter

 

I did make a hunter this year W2 with a damascus edge

 

Some exceptional work here, as always...

I guess I'll toss this one into the mix, just because I loved that piece of ironwood, and it felt so nice in the hand...

 

Bovine shin bone, African Paduak, and figured walnut in O-1

You are correct, Sir. I do wish it were mine. But, I have Russ making me something similar, and he's threatening to have it done pretty soon.

Damn, Fisk is tough to follow. This wasn't designed to be a hunter, but a hunter wants one as a hunter.
