Hunter and Recurve Tanto

[Burchtree]

Just finished these two up yesterday. I like the shape of this first one so much I gave it a model number (Model 1 Hunter) . It is built out of 3/16 1095 and is 7 3/8 inches overall with a 3-inch cutting edge. G-10 handles are removable so you can Flitz away the deer blood after a hunt. This one has some cool ashi that I couldn't get to show up in the picture . .

I've been trying to work on some different grinds and while this isn't too wild, it has a slight recurve in the blade that made it sort of a pain. It is 9 inches overall out of 1095 with a 4 1/2-inch cutting edge. This one has some strange activity around the the spine that I'll try to get some better pics of later.

Thanks for checking them out --

They're both nice but the hunter is REALLY nice.

what is under the wrap.

It is a menuki.

I prefer a more traditional tip on Japanese style knives, but I like this one nonetheless. The hunter is very nice.

Thanks!

Cypher -- if you're referring to the white stuff, that is stingray skin.
