September has arrived and the hunting season is upon us. I'm not a hunter myself but I thought I would dedicate a couple of knives to the art of hunting.
They're two because they work as a team: each one has got its own peculiarities and together they complement each other to do a complete and clean job.
"Hunter" and "Skinner" are made with Vanadis4 Extra Superclean steel, as my previous carver knives, they underwent a heat treatment to reach 60-61 Hrc.
Hunter's blade weighs 10 oz and 8 oz, without screws and blade grips.
It is a 0,197 inches thick and 5,12 inches long blade, and the overall length is 10,43 inches.
This is a solid, sturdy blade; suitable for heavy-duty jobs and, at the same time, it has got a smooth cutting, as smooth as silk.
The bevel profile is convex and, as the rest of the knife, it has been polished by hand with abrasive papers. The rounded profile makes the blade stronger and it prevents the blade from being stuck when cutting branches and firewood (hitting the back of the blade with another stick can be convenient in this case).
Hunters final bevels sharpening was done at 30 degrees , with Japanese whetstones and this is the flagship of these blades, it is also the most accurate that I can't get. It took me three hours for each of the two blades.
Skinner's blade weighs 5,5 oz and the whole of it weighs 7,3 oz.
The back it is 0,197 inches thick, the knife blade is 4,33 inches and the overall length is 9,05 inches.
This blade is designed to skin animals and to make precise cuts on soft materials without excessive effort.
The bevels for this blade are concave, and the sharpening was done at 25 degrees.
This is a scalpel dressed as a knife! It has been polished by hand except for the concave bevel that was made with belt machine.
The handles are removable for both knives and the blades are designed to be also used with a paracord handle.
The handles are made of manually worked and shaped Zebrawood, they underwent at least six coats of boiled linseed oil and wax polishing. The screws are made of brass and have a normal break inprint to be easily removed even when you're away from home without special keys.
