Last of 2023! This little clip point was inspired by a classic folding hunter pattern. 3.2 inch blade of hollow ground S90V with a tapered tang. This features a first for me, pinned and dovetailed stainless bolsters on the tapered tang. I was able to get a nice fit and used just a small amount of JB weld to ensure a watertight seal between the bolster and the tang. used a tapered drill bit to taper the holes and allow the pins to expand. The handle is Ivory G10 held on with epoxy and stainless corby bolts. OAL is 7 inches.
