Drop point hunter CPM 4V

navman · Nov 2, 2024

finished this one today, 4 inch blade drop point hunter in CPM 4V Heat treat by Peters' to 64 HRC. The blade is hollow ground on a 24" radius platen and hand sanded to 400 grit, with a rounded and polished spine and a section of 30 lpi thumb serrations. The tang is tapered and the handle is sculpted "camo" linen micarta with ruby red G10 liners, secured with Gflex epoxy, copper corbies and lanyard tube and a brass compass rose edm decorative pin. OAL is 8.5 inches.

Rides in a hand stitched black leather sheath with red stitching to match the liners.

Very nice. Tapered tang is icing on the cake!

I have another one that doesn't have a handle yet...and a third with a 3.5 " blade that also needs a handle.

Got a handle on the other 4 inch, maroon linen micarta with tuxedo G10 Liners and copper hardware. Will be finishing the sheath tonight and get pics.
