Polk Knives Small Game Hunter in CPM3V and Stabilized Buckeye Burl

[gdpolk]

Small Game Hunter:
This knife is designed to excel at skinning and quartering animals. Its size and proportions are made for those who like to maintain controlled cuts through the flesh and keep every bit of meat possible. The geometry of the blade is optimized to work well in small game, while still being large enough to be efficient in medium game. The handle is optimal for use in a modified saber grip with the thumb along the side and in a choked up grip with the index finger along the spine. The handle profile is left thin with minimal contouring to allow it to fit in a smaller grip as well as to provide increased feedback about the knife's position while in the chest cavity of medium sized game such as deer or pigs. The spine of the knife is squared with a slightly rounded/broken edge to allow for tactile feedback without risk of tearing your disposable gloves when cleaning game animals.

I love the way you broke down the cost. Transparency in advertising for the win. Good luck with the sale, sir.

Honesty is always a good thing in my opinion. I’ve been on a backlog for quite a while. Now that I’m catching up and starting to get some in stock blades, I am starting to advertise for the first time beyond just word of mouth locally. While I know I’m kind of a ghost here on the forums and online, I’ve been making knives for a few years now and selling them locally with great feedback from both the general public and other knifemakers on my designs and work. I’m good with being open and up front about my pricing. It’s not just arbitrary numbers pulled out of my tail pipe, it’s all based on my costs as a maker in time and materials.
