Good afternoon folks. I recently had an opportunity to work with another fantastic maker, Matt Gregory. We teamed up to produce a really nice hunting knife at my shop.
Several in progress pics and videos and some description can be seen in this thread:

This is a nice, comfortable hunting knife with lots of nice features. It is lightweight and durable. Just in time for hunting season.
Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched to reveal a dramatic hamon
8" overall, 3 5/8" blade, .190" thick at the ricasso with full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort with rounded filed thumb grip
Black g-10 lightweight guard and fittings
Fileworked spacer
K&G stabilized Black Ash burl handle with file fullered butt end
Checkered black g-10 button covering the finial bolt
Price is $750 shipped to the US and includes a Claude Scott custom hand stitched and tooled, deer skin lined sheath and padded zipper case and microfiber towel. International buyers welcome but will pay actual shipping costs.
And here's a shop video of the finished knife:
