Nothing too complicated to start 2026.

Long Hunter pattern in Takefu VG10 core san mai. Blade is hollow ground with a full tapered tang. Scales are Ivory linen micarta with black fibre liners. Guard is 416 stainless, Corby bolts and lanyard tube also stainless. 9 1/4 inches over all length.

Second is a Utility pattern from a few years back. Blade steel is CPM154, flat ground with a 400 grit hand satin finish and a full tapered tang. Went old school with packerwood scales. Single Corby up front and stainless tube along the rest of the handle. Middle two tubes are fitted with black G10 rod. Over all length 9 3/4 inches.

Three integrals next, what fun! Thanks for looking.

Cheers mate. Pakawood, also known as Dymonwood is basically plywood based micarta. Was used widely in the past but went out of favour as it was regarded as "cheap". It was available in a variety of colour combinations, some of them a little over the top. Knifemaker Supplies stocks it but can't remember what they call it.
