Hunter by Larry Feugen, MS

a little jewelers rouge and bling!

Just as clean as can be, this piece is striking because of its lack of adornment. Very nice grab.

I agree Joss.
And it polishes/cleans so easy.
I don't see it being such a problem.

But then I don't see the problem with giraffe bone either. :confused: ;)

I like brass and didn't know it was objectionable to so many until reading this forum.

I also don't like the green residue but I found it is pretty easy to avoid. Simichrome also works really well as a polish and then I use some Renaissance wax to preserve it. What I like the least about it is that it scratches so easily.

That being said, i've come to like nickel silver or stainless better.:D

I have some giraffe bone that looks like fantastic mammoth ivory. I don't like bone OR antler when dyed unnatural colors though.

Well I thought I'd dip my toes in the unfamiliar waters of this forum. IMHO brass is a beautifull and durable accent to a knife. True, without care it doesn't look so hot but it gives you an excuse to handle it every so often:) Collecting isn't just about having the things you love protected behind glass, it's getting them in your hands now and then and caring for them properly.

I think it's a sweet design all the way around, especially the sheath, it almost looks like wood it's so carved and sculpted.
 
I like brass until it turns green. I'm surprised Larry used it but I wont feel bad now if I put it on something again.
BTW thats a nice hunter simple and sweet.

Haley,

Exactly correct. Welcome aboard!

Anthony,

The sheath is marked Prescott AZ. I will ask Larry what year he moved to AZ.

I suspect that it was made within a couple of years of his move. Best guess 8-10 years old.

Knife form/flow surges my blood pressure. Ditto sheath.

Normally wood spacers abuse my eyes, in that they invariably look contrived as in, "this fantastic ironwood block is a little short, let's add a spacer." Sandwiched between metal and shaped, this one looks better, much better; in fact I love it.

Brass: Uh . . . well . . . uh, I like it better than aluminum. As far as hand-codling for up-keep, I'm perfectly fulfilled at keeping blade-rust at bay and a sheen on the handle. When I feel the need to shine brass, I polish the trim on my wood stove.

Nick, Tim, and Larry have the right idea about embellishments, but they stop short. On hunters of this caliber, embellishments (especially red lip-stick) are as classy as those promoting a hooker working the corner of 1rst and James in downtown Seattle.

Would I buy this knife? . . . pretending that Peter or someone might actually care what I would do. Surely, if I were a maker, piece, price guy. If my shtick was piece, maker, price, unless the price was compelling or Larry would not take my order, I'd be inclined to pass and place an order with Mr. Feugen.
