Butch Hanby - Clip-point Hunter - $180
Though this knife is called the Pronghorn, it features an elk tine handle taken by Butch in Colorado. The handle has a brass guard, a brass butt cap, and a snow corian spacer.
The Pronghorn has a sleek 4-3/4″ x 7/8″ clip point blade. The blade is high carbon stainless cutlery steel (see below for more details). The sheath is hand made by Butch from 9 ounce buffalo hide, from his Buffalo Ranch in Arkansas.
There are some funny shadows that are my fault. The knife is beautiful.

Note on the type of steel:
About a year and a half ago, Butch Hanby got a cut on his leg which got infected. It was one of those things that came out of nowhere. The infection got so bad that the doctors thought he might lose the leg. He didnt lose his leg, but the treatment and recuperation ended up taking about a year. When all of that started, he had a variety of materials and knives in progress that he was working on. None of it was labeled because he knew what it all was. But after being yanked out of the game for a year, he found that he couldnt remember what was what.
Here is what he told me when I asked him about the steel:
As for the type of steel used : 90 + % is 440-c ----- However, some of the steel I have, I didn't get marked before I got hurt last year ( I was out of service for over a year ) but it is all stainless---either 8A or a high carbon cutlery steel similar to 440-c.
When I am positive of which steel it is, I list it ------they are all good blade steel and I've used them for years.
