Nice!! I especially like the profile outline of the handle. It's got a couple of my favorite features: single-finger groove at the front and a prominent swell at the butt to really anchor the hand for chopping or, in the case of this knife, draw cutting.

What are the specs on this one - steel, blade length, etc???

 

[John Andrews]

I really like that, too, Nathan. Hey, what did you use for pin material? Yes, the pins do go very well with the scales. Nice package, kid!

 

[Dan Gray]

I geuss it's been some time.. nice work Nathan, I thinks you like the hung blades don't you

 

[rlinger]

Very good. I like the way you clipped out the mid section for weight, balance and looks.

John,the pins are a trade secert just kidding, they are Ti pins
just somthing that I will be doing to my knives,I guess you could say
a trade mark of mine

Dan
I like knives that have a hung blade,I have some more that I am working on
with a little differnt handle and blade design,it has been a long journey with my style and my fit and finish

PS The Ti pins are neat.

Very stylish Nathan! Welcome back with a vengance! So did you annodize the pins or what? Very cool.

 

[Nathan House]

Dave,Thanks yes I did anodize them,in a different way than you anodize
normal ti that you see on folders,I just switched a couple things up to do it,tured out good for my first stab at it ,and the black G10 made them glow even more,I am going to try some different colors on some of up and coming knives

What is a "Hung" handle? Ive been told that I was "hung". Same thing?

 

[Will52100]

I don't think I'll comment on that Bruce, or did you mean someone wants to hang you?

Great looking knife Nathan, realy differant, rates high on the cool factor.

Where's IG with the snappy comeback when you need him?

Hey Nathan, I was just wondering to myself a couple days ago where you'd run off to. Welcome back, brother! Nice knife, too!

 

[Mark Williams]

So does this mean you are off the $hit-list Nathan

Hung Blade Bruce
