"HACK" stands for "HOG Apprentice Custom Knives". . . . Yes, it's the return of the Busse apprentice series. . . . There should be quite a few different "One-Time-Only" models offered and not all of them will be made of INFI. . . This particular model is INFI however.
I designed this knife for my daughter Katie . . . Once I finished it, everyone in the shop wanted one, So, here it is for everyone to have a shot at. We call it the Bear Cub. . .
The HACK series of knives has been designed for training our apprentice custom knife grinding team. The prices of these will not reflect their true custom nature. :thumbup: . . . In other words. . . you should be pleasantly surpised by the affordable pricing!!
The Serial Numbered Limited Edition will feature the fossilized mammoth ivory handles. . . .These will be very limited as we have a very limited supply of this rare handle material! ! ! !
Here are the pics!!
