Hey guys,

Have a look at this neat matched set of stag hunters by Nick Wheeler (Mitch Lum photo):

Man, that is one lucky son-of-a-hunter that is going to receive one half of this pair from his Dad!

Cheers,

Roger
 
It's great to finally see this pair of hunters. I heard a bit about them from Nick. They turned out really nice. I prefer the guard on the top one and the blade profile on the bottom.
 
Cuchillo muy bonito .Si fuera mío , le haría un buen grabado en la cuchilla de acero ( hoja ) y lo esmaltaría . Quedaría precioso .
Formaría parte de mi colección .

Very beautiful knife. If it was mine, he/she would make him a good engraving in the steel kitchen knife (leaf) and it would enamel it. It would be beautiful.
It would be part of my collection.

Thanks Roger! :)

Hey Jamie, thanks buddy. I think it's an optical illusion, but the blades are actually the same. The only thing different are the spacers behind the guards. Oh, and Mark's (dad's) is right-handed, and Justin's is left-handed.

My good friend Bill Cottrell (plain 'ol bill) made me a stencil...so Justin's name is etched on the other side of his blade. This is NOT something I would normaly do, but this father/son duo are just flat good folks and I know Justin, who is about 12, will appreciate his knife.

The blades are O1 finished to 600x, 416 guards and pommels, and the antler is from an elk Mark tagged in '02. Yes, he gave it to me! :)

Thanks for looking folks :D

Those are really beautiful knives. Perfectly clean and crisp...something to shoot for.
 
Hey Matt, not to blow sunshine up your shorts, but you can't be talking about yourself...your knives are CRISP and CLEAN!!!

Thank you :)
Nick

I figured you'd say that, but the bottom one looks about .005" longer and at least a couple thousands slimmer. Time to tighten up on the QC my friend! :D

Kick ass knives and I'd be proud to carry either of them.
 
Matt,

Seeing how your more experienced in these matters than I, I will have to agree with you. They say the human eye is one of the most accurate measuring tools there is. Apparently that just holds true on the East Coast, LOL! ;) :D
 
You know I like these. I really don't think I've ever seen one of Nick's knives that didn't jump out and scream "Buy me!"

:)
 
They both look really comfortable and really well-made. As they should be. :)

Nice photo by Mitch as well. Four winners here.

Stupendous work, Nick, as always. (Stupendous ? Hmmm... never used that word before, but thought I should pull that out for you.) Your work is as clean as clean can get. Jason.
 
Thank you guys for the kind words, I sure do appreciate them!!! :D

Jason---"stupendous?" I'll take that! ;) Thanks buddy.

Also a big thanks to Mitch, he pulled off another real nice shot showing both knives and both sheaths all together.

Thanks guys :)
