Robert Hankins "Bear Slayer"

[New Pig Hunter]

Incredible good fortune last week: I found and purchased a Hankins Bear Slayer. According to Robert, he recalls making only four of these, during 2003 or so.
1/4" thick stock, 5160 steel, 10" blade. Not sure what the handle material is.

Here's a picture of another Bear Slayer + comments:
