Drop-Point Hunter - White Corian Handle - Buffalo Hide Sheath by Butch Hanby - $225
Butch Hanbys Serengeti is a drop point hunting knife. The drop point blade is 4″ x 1″ and made from high carbon stainless cutlery steel (see below for more on the steel). The handle is polished snow white corian. The fittings are solid brass.
Butch Hanby is a White River Cherokee Indian. He makes his Buffalo Hide Sheaths from the hides he gets on his own Buffalo Ranch in Arkansas. Using an ancient method passed down by the Native American old ones, the nine-ounce bull hide sheath is form fitted, hardened, and secured with double cap solid brass harness rivets.
Osage Ranch, Butch's Buffalo Ranch, is the source of the buffalo hide and buffalo horn he uses in his sheaths and handles.

As to the type of steel used in the knife, it has a long answer.
About a year and a half ago, Butch Hanby got a cut on his leg which got infected. It was one of those things that came out of nowhere. The infection got so bad that the doctors thought he might lose the leg. He didnt lose his leg, but the treatment and recuperation ended up taking about a year. When all of that started, he had a variety of materials and knives in progress that he was working on. None of it was labeled because he knew what it all was. But after being yanked out of the game for a year, he found that he couldnt remember what was what.
Here is what he told me when I asked him about the steel:
As for the type of steel used : 90 + % is 440-c ----- However, some of the steel I have, I didn't get marked before I got hurt last year ( I was out of service for over a year ) but it is all stainless---either 8A or a high carbon cutlery steel similar to 440-c. When I am positive of which steel it is, I list it ------they are all good blade steel and I've used them for years.
