This is my signature drop point hunter that I have been making for several years with a highly polished finish. Made side by side with the one previously sold. There is a small flaw (see last picture) and I had a hard time deciding what to do with this knife, I decided to sell it at a discount so someone could enjoy a great knife. I was making a two pin version but everyone went wild over the six pin giving it a unique look that works well with dark wood. The gentle curve makes this a great cutting knife for most applications. The knife is professionaly heat treated to give optimum performance. The handle is desert ironwood which is a very dense strong wood with a finish mixture of shellac and carnuba wax which is hot buffed (to melt on) with a high speed buffer. The sheath is hand made with a nice barbed wire pattern, treated with neets foot oil with an antique brown stain. Razor Sharpened at about 15 degrees on each side with a convex edge to give good cutting performance with good edge retention and easy touch up with Spiderco or other fixed angle sharpener.

Another quick one, these are great knives and the Paul Bos heat treat gives you the best possible performance, paypal is prandall_2000@yahoo..

thanks
 
OK, so you bumped the knife into the grinder and put a divot in the top; that is still a great working knife and what a bargain. Or, you could get out your dremel tool with a carbide bit and put some file work on the top and get full price (or a little more for the embellishments).
 
I second what GL Drew said. I have used file pattern in the past to cover up a grinder bump.
 
That was my first thought, It is hardend throughout but I can use a diamond bit and some sand paper. I had the blade covered and did not see the nick until the handle was polished. wow was I disappointed.
 
Great design for an EDC, very usable :)

:thumbup: I like that it has no frills, just a solid working knife ;)
