Ironwood hunter/skinner

[Guy Thomas]

Some time ago I posted a picture of this knife when it was a bare blade, asking for handle suggestions, (guard, no guard, bolsters, no bolsters, that kind of thing). Well after a very long time here is the finished knife. The 4.25" blade is forged 5160, and is 9" OA, handle has, brass bolsters with ironwood scales and brass thong tube. (It was a little too dark outside for this picture but my friends Sony Mavica did a halfway decent job.)

Nice finish Guy. That iron wood scrubs up nice.

Nice knife all around. This one is right up my ally- I can hardly keep my hands off of it! Wish it were here so I could handle it.

Good job

Hey I know that one! Photos just don't do the knives justice. This baby does in fact fit your hand naturally; it just feels warm and welcome when you hold it. Guy is way too modest about his work, it's beautiful. And he gave up a lot of sleep to get this baby done before Blade, too. Nice work buddy!

Cool, looks like a real work horse.
