That's about the nicest hunter I've seen in a long time! Congratulations.

The integration of everything that makes up this piece, the ivory, damascus, filework, proportions, etc. is truly remarkable. I don't think this could have been any better than it is.
 
Ok, that is THE best Hunter, that I have ever seen. :thumbup:

Truly spectacular!

P

I almost feel as though it is partially mine, because I bought one of Riad's tired old hunters to help pay for it.
 
Nice score Riad. Keep your eyes OPEN, You gonna score again tomorrow about noon. :D :D
 
Probably Tim's best Hunter model. No doubt it ALL came together on this one. The choices for the ivory, damascus pattern and sheath contribute to making it one of the best I've ever seen. :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Very, very nice. Tim is on my short list of makers I'd love to own a knife from but don't yet.
 
I love the way Tim border cuts and groves his furrules. Kinda his trade mark so to speak.
Quite a sheath maker too. He told me how long it takes him to make one of his typical sheaths and I was totally amazed......
As always Coop, outstanding photo.
 
The nicest hunter I've ever seen.
The steel alone.The pattern on the Damascus,even and especially the spine,is just beautiful.
The rest.
Off the charts! :eek:
Congrats on this most wonderful Hunter,Riad. :thumbup:
Great image.

I am speechless! (Well, as much as one can be on a computer...:) ).

So much to like in a hunter package! It all goes together so well.

Great knife, Riad!! :thumbup:

I take a bunch of shots and have to choose which to include. Sometimes I get an outstanding view but it doesn't make it.

In the case of the photo inset I wanted to show the discreet filework as well as the bolster/guard. This shot, however, shows all BUT the filework to it's best. Check it out.

The sheath was another aspect that can't be overlooked lightly in Tim's work. His are some of the most textured and ornate patterns, and they always demand a co-starring role. :thumbup:

Thanks, Riad!
