Hi Gentlemen,
I've got a couple of great hunters up for sale today. They are enough different I'm calling them the Night and Day Hunters.
The Night Hunter:
This one is made with 26C3 steel which is new to us via @Alpha Knife Supply. It's Swedish high carbon steel developed for razor blades. It's similar to Hitachi Blue/White. It creates great hamon and can attain high RC hardness. The handle is awesome ancient stabilized Bog Oak that has black, brown and silver coloring. The guard is stainless steel.
SPECS:
OAL: 10.75"
BLADE: 4.75" long, 1.375" wide. Full flat grind down to 0.012", hand sanded to 1200 grit, Ferric Chloride etched to bring out hamon. The spine has been slightly rounded.
STEEL: 0.125" 26C3 steel heat treated to RC63
HANDLE: Stabilized ancient Bog Oak, 416 stainless guard and pin. Aluminum and black G10 spacers.
SHEATH: Handmade pouch style leather.
$SOLD Shipped CONUS, international buyers welcome shipping extra.
Paypal, checks or money orders accepted.
Post "I'll take it" here in this thread and then PM or email me for arrangements.
Comments/Questions/Critiques welcome.
Thanks for looking!
The Day Hunter:
This one is 3V steel that I Ferric Chloride etched and tumbled for an awesome stone wash finish. It was heat treated to RC61 using a low temp tempering protocol. The handle is very cool vintage micarta I recently obtained from @Milan Mozolic from the 1970's - 1980's. This one also has a stainless guard.
SPECS:
OAL: 10.5"
BLADE: 4.5" long, 1.5" wide. Full flat grind down to 0.012", hand sanded to 800 grit, Ferric Chloride etched and tumbled for a stone wash finish. The spine has been slightly rounded.
STEEL: 0.125" 3V steel heat treated to RC61
HANDLE: Vintage micarta, 416 stainless guard and pin. Black and natural micarta spacers.
