Greetings All,

My own personal Loveless style Stiff Horn in sambar stag is rather beefy at 5.7 ounces - thought I'd make a stab at a lighter version as an EDC with Bird & Trout capability.

I took some artistic license from the original pattern: thinner .120" Magnacut stock vs .190" CPM-154, hollow ground on a 12' wheel, cutting edge dropped 1/16" below the ricasso, G-10 single guard vs heavy stainless bolsters, hidden tang vs full tang, G-10 thong tube vs SS. I'd certainly call it a finesse knife at 2.3 ounces - it sold rather quickly on the For Sale forum. All comments welcome.


Be Well,

TK

.120" CPM Magnacut stock
HT to Rc 60-61
7 1/2" OAL
3 1/4" Hollow ground blade
400 grit hand rubbed satin finish
Stabilized premium cottonwood
Thumb serrations on spine
Black G-10 guard and thong tube
Black/white G-10 spacers

I agree with Dawkind Dawkind This knife has so much awesomeness (not a word) to it. So, so many great things. Love the overall shape, the black guard and the chosen wood to just bring it all together.

I really, really dig this one.
