Hi Guys and Gals,
This has been a project I have been working on for a long time for one of my best customers. This customer has a mint, new in box Buck General that he bought in the 60's as a youth. He showed me this knife and asked for a modern interpretation, adding contemporary style and ergonomics. I changed the design to full tang construction using 1/4" 0-1. I have never seen a full flat ground blade with fullers on the bevels, so I thought I would give that a try. The bolsters are brushed Aluminum and the scales are Ebony, a nod to the 110 folding hunter. I used stainless handmade rivets to attach the bolsters and handle slabs.
I would love to hear your comments.
