Loveless style Hunter

[Mark Behnke]

This is my 6th knife and 1st leather sheath.

Every mistake possible was made and lots of flaws but I learned a lot and I'm anxious to start the next one.

Thanks for looking and ALL comments welcome.

That's pretty darn good. If anything the two things I would suggest is revisiting the blade proportions and contour the scales more.

what are the specs?
IMHO I'd suggest it to have a tiny bit longer blade, to best balance its proportions, but that's just me

really nice work!!

Nice job Mark! If that was my #6 I'd be very pleased. It took me a lot longer than 6 knives to get to that point.

Very nice. Keep up the good work. Tapered tang and all. The handle scales are beautiful.

I took the pattern off the web and the scale is smaller than it should be and not sure if that interpretation of a "Loveless Hunter"was exact. I viewed as many pic's as I could find and seems to me that Loveless handle contours changed from time to time, guards seem to stay pretty much the sane( mines too big), blade to handle ratio is documented in LOA measurements but blade width I'm not too sure about.

One thing for sure is that pictures are distorting and deceiving.
