Forged hunter/fighter

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

I just dropped this in the mail, it's on it's way to have a sheath made and it will be ready for blade.

This blade was forged form 1095. It is 4-3/4 in long and 3/16 thick. Differential heat treat with hamon. The guard, ferule and buttcap are all bronze that have been antiqued black. The stag taper has some real nice texture. The guard and butt cap have been carved with curved flutes.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

He's making one for this as well.

Joe,
Sorry, no dark side for me, although I have pondered getting more involved with it. I teach a knife making class and the few fixed blades I make are a result of forging and grinding demonstrations for the class.
