I don't really need to, but I will try to part with my loved FB Hunter with Burlap handles. This is an outstanding knife. It is a user but has always been cared for an not abused. This model is from back when Andy still used corby bolts. The handle scales are also a bit thinner than what he is currently making when I compare it to my new Bushfinger. I am only listing this for sale because it is just a bit more knife than I need. I think the BF is more my size for what I intend to use it for.
Let me explain a little about this Hunter. I received it new, from another forum member back in June 2010. It went with me on several deer hunting trips, field dressing and butchering beautifully. This past winter (Dec 2011) I sent it back in to Andy for a "spa" treatment and a restamping. He cleaned it up, resharpened it and even reground the blade. It started off as a saber convex grind, when I got it back it was a full convex grind. This totally changed the edge geometry and I believe significantly improved it. This knife is an incredible slicer now! she is currently stropped to hair popin! You can see before and after pics in this thread:

I also sent it off to Robert Marcinek of RAM Sheaths and had a custom horizontal carry sheath made a few years back as well. You can see a write up of the details of the sheath here:

As I already mentioned, this knife has been used this past hunting season. The blade is starting a patina and has a few spots on it as well. No rust. I hope it shows up well enough for you in the pics. The sheath shows a little wear (rub marks, some scratches) but is in great shape. The only thing I did to the sheath is wet and stretch out the straps because they were too tight for my liking.
