Here are three Homestead Hunters I have to offer the forum! I designed these to be ideal for EDC. The Homestead Hunter carries on a belt very comfortably; it rides high to conceal well and it stays out of your way when you take a seat. The pivot point on the handle makes it easy to switch between forward and reverse grips. The pointed guard is useful for popping foil seals on oil jugs. The tang is etched with inch and metric rulers for measuring hardware and other small parts. The knife is held in the sheath by tension on the handle only; the sheath is molded to minimize contact with the blade. The belt loop allows the sheath to cant forward about 75°.

I test each knife to ensure it is paper-slicing and shaving sharp. There are ~5" of blade in front of the guard / ~4.85" of blade in front of the handle scales.

These are the first knives that I've mirror-polished. The mirror finish looks great when looking straight into the blades, but ripples/waviness in the finish are apparent when viewed at other angles. Each knife has extremely faint random scratches in the mirror finish that do not show up in photos. I captured the ripples as best I could in the photos below. PM me if you'd like to see higher-resolution images prior to buying. These knives will ship sheathed.

Homestead Hunters are serialized, and for sale in this listing are HH202513, HH202514 and HH202515. First come - first serve, I'll cross off the serial numbers if/as they sell.

$350 apiece, shipped anywhere in the 50 United States of America

Nice bit of kit there Matt. Definitely a good looking, practical knife, the kind that makes you want to go out and use it. Great to see your first offering here. I especially like all the pertinent info you provided along with a video to really give us a good look at it. The video speaks volumes! These are sure to be a hit!
 
Thanks for the warm reception, guys! I've had the idea for these knives for a long time, and I spent the past year experimenting and problem-solving to figure out how to make them uniformly and efficiently. Yes - every aspect of the knife and sheath is very deliberate. I love the old Cold Steel videos! That's definitely where I got some of my ideas!
