Here's an upscale hunter I just finished. I really like the overall profile of this one. It has just the slightest hint of a persian sweep to the blade.

1080 steel, clay quenched
8 1/2" overall, 4" blade .130" at the ricasso
416 SS bolsters, dovetailed
Engraved scroll work by Gordon Alcorn of Bozeman, MT
Carved and textured african blackwood scales
Twisted rope filework along entire spine and butt end

beauty! love the overall look of it, very elegant. amazing file work too, I can only hope to get that good :)
 
I am definitely not a fan of engraving. With that in mind I can't imagine this knife without it; beautiful! Between you and I get rid of the torx screws.
 
Thanks for the comments and feedback guys.
