Hi

Here you can see my first "not-so bad" hunter. I'we made only 4 knives already and first of them (puukko made in 1996) you can see in this year Blade Mag. February issue p.23. Now working hard on neck knife with small skinner blade (looks cool now).</P>

Facts:

Blade: 3,5" of 440C, drop point

Scales: impegnated oak

My own mosaic pins and hand made leather sheath

Dark power... (just like that photo)</P>

Blade shape - closer look</P>


So, what do you think?
 
Love the knife Piter! Classic lines, nice and clean. You may want to consider putting a welt in your next sheath. It would save accidentally cutting your stitches.

Thank for kind words

BTW, I've put a leather "liner" between back and front of my sheath, so all stitches are safe. Blade should first travel through 0.25" of tough leather to cut any stitch.

Thanks a lot. #5 and #6 in progress. #5 will be also drop point but with full integral guard. #6 is going to be 2" skinner blade neck knife.
BTW, I've recently bought some new tools to my shop and now I'm going to create at least 10 knives a year.

looks nice, i especially like how you did the leather strips on the sheath, looks nice.
the scales are really "impregnated oak" right? don't you mean stabalized? they do look nice though nice choice.
if you need any help with upcoming knives i'll be happy to answer any questions.
 
Piter,
You are doing great work. I especially like the way the front of the handle extends up onto the choil. I, too, have recently recieved a little coverage in Blade (Nov. 2000 p.105). Hope to see much more of your work, now that you have your new tools!
Sincerely,
Bob Bizzell
 
Just what you said - Cetan is my favorite fixed blade! Unfortunately, it's a bit too expencive for me.
