Micarta/Maple Drop Point Hunter

[panch0]

Here is one I only need to clean up a bit. It is 5/32 A2 toolsteel, 8.75OAL , Blade is 4 1/8" long, And the burl is stabeilized and I boght it off Mike Turner. It has a slight dovetail and some vine filework. The pins are stainless corby's. I want to keep this one for Deer season, but thats what I said about the last one I made.

I really like that, hope mine come out as well as that did.

Thanks for the encouragement! I can't wait to use it this deer season.

That one looks great, Panch! Curious why you dovetailed it the way you did? Typically the dovetail is reversed so that the bolster provides a bit of protection and security/retention for the scales.

Either way, I think it's a great looking blade. Great handle shape and excellent work on the blade grinds.

It was a moment when I was thinking about a new grinder instead of the task at hand. I went with it. I was just glad everything lined up nice and neat.
