Hi Folks- 
This one is sold guys, THANK YOU!!!
Here we have a super dee duper hunter/utility/pack knife. (BTW- I took all the cues and got a new hand model for the photos
).
I recently made some full tang knives in this pattern that were well received, and I wanted to make some with a hidden tang. It took some head scratching for me to decide just how I wanted to do these, but I'm very happy with the final outcome. This is essentially a framed handle, hidden tang knife. But rather than the frame being made from steel, it's made of G10. The resulting knife is VERY light.
Blade is O1, heat-treated to 61 Rc, thinly flat ground, and then hand sanded to a fine finish.
Frame is G10
Handle is stabilized Washington state Maple burl.
Two domed/polished 416 ss pins and ss lanyard liner (I put a deer hide lanyard with Elk horn button on this one).
Sheath is a horizontal carry, machine stitched, dyed a rich brown color, and sealed.
Blade Length- 3-13/16"
Blade Width- 1-1/16" at widest point
OAL- 8-5/16"
$325 shipped in U.S.
Thank you for looking!!!
This photo shows how the knife is put together. The tang has very small shoulders, and runs almost the entire length of the handle. After the fit-up is done, like in the photo, then I mill channels into the G10 (out from the tang slot) to give more surface area for the Acraglas epoxy to adhere to.
