Ivory Hunter

[Karl B. Andersen]

I've had this small piece of Ivory laying around now for nearly two years and decided to make a dressy little hunter out of it.
I hope you can spy the chatoyance in this blade. It's something I've been working on, and it exceeded my hopes, that only first-hand observation can appreciate.
Stainless guard sets off 1095/15N20 blade.
Faceted spine gives it an added touch.

(I can see now I had some smears on that satin guard - too late.)

Dare I use the expressions "cute", "pretty", "neat"? Because it is all of those, IMHO. A lovely object that also happens to be a very nice knife! And a great piece of ivory.

Who ever said field dressing had to be dull. I think that would top off the end to any hunt just about perfect. I gotta say, to me sitting on the tailgate talking over what went down and comparing guns and knives sometimes out does the hunt itself.

 

[Burton Harruff]

Nice one Karl, how big is it?

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

Nice one Karl, how big is it?

It's a short one - only about a 4" blade and a 4+" handle.

 

[EScott]

Very nice little knife Karl. It was great meeting you at blade.
