K-Bar Hunter/Field Knife

[David Stifle]

I've always liked the K-Bar grind, it's a cool looking blade. I have also always liked the traditional handle found on some older fashioned hunters. This is my attempt to marry the two styles. The blade is 1084, deeply etched and slightly blued, heat treated to 60 Rc by Peters heat treating company. The handle is brushed nickel and brass spacers, blackwood and black and white ebony. All comments are welcome.

I like what you did there. Very unique. It's a good-looking blade. :thumbup:

I'm relieved to know you like it. I was starting to think it may be the worst thing I've ever done. A maker never really knows how well or how badly they have done without feedback as they get too close to their work. Thanks!

It's like a scagel K-Bar; a scagelbar. I like it.
