Damast Hunter by Claude BOUCHONVILLE

[rabanwelsch]

Today my Hunter by Claude BOUCHONVILLE has arrived.

Claude is a Belgian bladesmith and very very nice guy!

This forged knife is great!!! :thumbup:

I let the pictures speak for themselves (with a few notes).


The knife arrived with a leathersheath by Claude

With a great damaststructure and Dessert ironwood...

Fits in the hand...

Very nice, and maybe the prettiest piece of ironwood I've ever seen!

That ironwood is to die for, for sure. I really like how the swirls in it and the damast pattern sort of reflect each other. Nice overall shape to the knife. And this may be a minor point to some, but I really like his maker's mark too. Too often a maker's mark is too intrusive on the knife either in size or just in bad logo/type design; this one is nicely simple yet with a touch of personality.

That is fantastic! I like it all!
