Selectively Hardened Hunter

[Karl B. Andersen]

Here's the blade I posted a few days ago finished out as a Take-down Bubinga Hunter.
Stainless fittings and Stabilized Curly Bubinga for the handle.
Forged and Selectively hardened 5" blade.
9 3/4" overall.
I am really liking this new handle profile I've used twice now. Stupendous grip and comfort!
Thanks for letting me share.

Karl,

It really does look like it would be a comfortable handle. I am very impressed with your style of knife, especially your hunters. This one looks like it would be able to handle it all. :thumbup: Lin

Looks great! :thumbup:

What's the blade steel?

That's from my stash of 20 year old 1" square 5160 made right here in Illinois.
This is the knife that will be "raffled" at Rob's Island Lake Blade Rendevous.

Like it Karl. :thumbup: :thumbup:
That handle makes you want to just grab hold to it.

Nice. I like the slotted bolt you use for takedown construction.
