Damascus hunter

J. Piontek · May 27, 2017

I have been making knives for about a year now and wanted to post my latest knife. This is the second hidden tang knife I have done (its a lot better than my first). I am happy with how much I have improved in the fit and finish category.

Knife is Random Pattern Damascus with a press fit 416 stainless guard and stabilized maple burl handle.

All comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated

It's a beautiful knife, and very well done too!

I would say you are way ahead of the curve.

I believe you should get yourself a nice stamp for your blades, they definitely deserve your signature! :thumbsup:

Looking at this again, that's an outstanding piece of burl.
