Just for your information, this is one of the last knives I'll be making out of 52100. I have very little left, and when it's gone, I'm not planning on getting any more. I don't have anything against it, I'm just trying to simplify my life, and that means using fewer types of steel, and this is one that I don't use often.


Thanks for looking!
 
Absolutely gorgeous work! Terrific blade profile and grinds, exceptional damascus, beautiful handle and guard! :thumbup:
 
That is a beauty, just don't have the funds for it at the moment.

Edit: Son of a gun, I keep coming back here. Let me know if it is still available, I will take it.

It appears that my two threads got merged somehow, so I want to make sure it's clear that the hunter is sold, but the fighter is still available.
 
The fighter and your WIP thread is incredible. I am still proud to have one of your big bowies, the one that you did a WIP thread as well.
Every time I see a knife like this, I am amazed how you guys can grind the tip like that and everything else - crisp and fine.
 
This one is now sold, pending payment. Thanks everyone for your comments. :-)

Was that this knife? http://www.pattonblades.com/1165-1.JPG I was never real happy with the handle shape of that one. Would you be interested in letting me rework it a little?
