He-Man Hunter in 12C27 w/ti screws, no clip

[STR]

This one just up. I had this one sold before I started it. The request was for a hunter outdoorsman blade with titanium screws. As requested thats what I did. I kind of took the liberty to make it without a clip. This gent that ordered it has never used a clip on any of the knives I've worked on for him so I'm assuming he won't be using one on this folder either.

This He-Man weighs 2.9 ounces as shown. Slabs are .095 thick on each side and the blade is 3 and 1/8" long and the closed length is 4 and 1/4". The lock is sprung solid with absolutely no lock cut in it at all as requested by the customer. This one is also 12C27 blade steel, also heat treated by Peters heat treat to 60 Rockwell hardness just like the one posted yesterday. The blade is also hollow ground just like the one yesterday but this one is a bit higher.

Anyway this one is special ordered for life in the Louisiana Bayou and I figure like all the knives my friend uses that it will be flat out worked to skin anything from white tail deer to alligators and all in between. You'll have to excuse the marks staining the sides on this one. I was playing with it some before snapping these pics. I actually wiped it off and thought I cleaned it pretty well before going out to do these pictures but apparently my eyes ain't what they used to be. Thanks for looking

I'm sure it will my friend.

As to your question in the email. When the spririt enters me I move. Thats all I can say. I'll roll with the wave while its here as always and then when its gone, stillness until the next one rolls in. Such is the way of my work. I quit asking why years ago really.

Yeah I guess so compared to usual. I'm not done yet! Three more coming up before long. Then if the mood is still right I may do a BUSSTR using some of that 5160 I've got out there. I might even try Koster's mustard patina on it. We'll just have to see how it goes I guess. :thumbup:
