Classic hunter in green canvas and ATS-34

[PatrickBarter]

Here is a hunting knife designed based on the form and philosophy of Bob Loveless's work--which he articulated once when he said "[the dropped hunter is] nothing less and nothing more than it needs to be."

The pictures can do most of the talking, but the technical specs are:

ATS-34 blades, mirror polished, and ground to .019" behind the edge (for a hunting knife, this one's a slicer). Ground from .196" stock. Heat treated to Rc 59-60. The tang is tapered.

Hardware - 416 SS guard and 5/16" pins.

Sheath: Hand-stitched 8-9oz leather; balmed and waxed.

Handle: Green canvas micarta

$250 + $10 shipping/paypal. I really hope that it will go out and get used.

Thanks for looking,
Patrick

That's a great idea. Sorry about that. I'll post it before lunch -- including blade length and OAL.

Sorry: yesterday got crazy. I didn't have time to take any new pictures, but I did find two shots from earlier that might be useful. I believe the blade is 4 1/4" (9" OAL) but I'll measure it tonight to be sure. Sorry again about the tardy post. =)

Here's a wider view of the green one:

and here's the shot of the same knife in natural canvas micarta with a different camera angle.

This one's now sold...probably the last hunter I'll make for a while.
