Good evening everybody!
A few months ago, I was contacted by a fellow member of our community to do a small hunting knife.
The plan was to finish this knife prior my move but my landlord decide to show me the door earlier than I anticipated.
A huge mess ensured and the move seemed to take forever. No matter how much I planned my schedule, everything took double the time.

Two months forward and I managed to have a working space. Still a ton of things to do and move but at least I can work on knives!
Without further adieu, here are some progress pictures of the hunter.
Right after the final grind was done and the tang prepared for the guard.

A lovely press fit keeps the guard tight in place.

Roughed up guard and handle fit up.

Ready for glue up!

And finally, the end result! The final picture is quite awful with some oil residue still on it, the video is a better representation.
