Hunter with burl handle

[Todor Hristov]

Hello guys , I would like to show you another piece that I finished. This is one of my most frequently made designs. On this one I made the end part of the handle a bit wider and the end cap had to be bigger. This helped to balance the longer blade.

Steel - Elmax 59-61 HRC.
OAL - 261 mm (~10.3").
Blade - 135Х29Х3.8mm (~5.3x1.1x0.15") flat grind with secondary bevel.
Blade finish - p 800.
Handle - stabilized alder and maple burls, fiber and inox.
Leather sheath with snake skin.
Weight with/without sheath - 183/272 grams.

Hey Mete , I wasn't sure if the maple is from our area and I asked my friend that stabilized it . It turns out it wasn't maple but box elder and it's american (not sure what region exactly).
