Presentation Grade Utility Hunter**SOLD**

[TK Steingass]

Gentlemen:

For your consideration is this utility/hunter in presentation grade Koa/AEB-L. The scales are from my personal stash - stabilized old growth Koa with deep chocolate color, high contrast, and chatoyance. The liners are a first time four layer of stainless and black vulcanized fiber......very subtle and interesting. Extra attention is given to the handle, rounding the top and bottom for elimination of hot spots and improved ergonomics. The spine forward of the guard is checkered for secure thumb placement. The solder joint is perfectly executed with no pinholes - real old school stuff here. The bottom of the ricasso and the back of the handle butt have been radiused for added visual elements. The deerskin lined sheath has a cam that securely holds the knife yet allows it to be drawn easily. Superb fit and finish. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it," PM, or email gets it. $490 delivered CONUS. Thanks for viewing - all comments are appreciated.

It's amazing that so many blades, currently listed on this forum have similar qualities and beauty as this knife has. If my purse had more coins in it, my blade collection would be a much higher quality than it is right now.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, this is a classic design. I provide subtle upgrades to the classic utility/hunter with a hand checkered spine, hollow ground primaries, contoured grip, tapered tang, and soldered guard. All these add time/labor/cost over an entry level knife of the same design.
